The Thousands

A sly grin slides across my face every time I spy a cleanly buffed wall. It’s like a little declaration of war between free art, and the buff. The buff carefully silhouettes the detailed artwork in a subtle shade of beige, being sure to almost but not quite match the tone of the wall, creating the buffs’ new art in brutal and chaotic strokes.

But what happens to the lost souls of street art when their beautiful lines are buffed? They’re captured in strange little plastic boxes with glass eyes and neck straps. 

On Thursday March 4th from 6pm, the Street Dreams crew and their almighty low-emission projector bike plan to unleash the GHOSTS of the streets.

The GHOSTS street art walking tour will take you through the back alleys of Adelaide, retracing the steps of some of the best artists this city has shunned and projecting their lost work onto the cold bare walls.
