Graffity in Sweden

New York Morning · September 13th, 2009, 09:00 PM

Hello to everyone! I'd like to know about the graffiti culture in Sweden. Is it really popular there? I'd be glad if you share it. I’ve got several examples, as for me it’s quite good:

Does it mean "thank you for nice pictures" or what?

Nice thread but about stockholm graffiti.
2006 the stockholmers elected a new right-wing mayor who was very against graffiti. She introduced a new graffiti policy. That means that every graffiti or any scrawl/taging done in the subway or in public populated areas should be removed almost immediately or in 24hours. . Also a lot of old stuff that has been in the subway or on other walls for years has been removed scince the new policy took act.

It'sad...

And what about legal (oficial/special) areas?

I hate wankers who spray tags everywhere and ruin beautiful cities with such garbage.
Grafitti can be fantastic but "klotter" is just terrible.
Idiots who do this should punished hard!

Here I agree with Embrace. In Swedish there's a clear distinction between "graffiti" and "klotter", one being an art style the other about quality and location (i.e. legality). I actually like the graffiti style quite a bit, but I'd say it is very rare in Stockholm. Mostly all you see is crap klotter defacing public/private property thus increasing the unsafe fealing of a place, lowering the value of property and increasing the maintenance costs.
