Stik in Shoreditch: the artist’s hidden tribute to a sold-off London

Last year, the street artist Stik got permission for a major new mural in his neighbourhood, an area of the East End of London that now embodies gentrification at its most extreme. So he asked the denizens of Old Shoreditch - the vicars, artists and paupers - what he should paint in response ... before the wall is hidden again by a billboard

    It's been five years, and I hope Sam's managed to stay out of the joint. I think she's a jewel, but then I live in Brooklyn, where characters are manufactured by the gross.

    Very interesting doc, a great portrait of Shoreditch.. I wish the artist/narrator would introduce himself, and wish that when he says "families and communities are being torn apart, " he'd clarify by what -- gentrification. And he keeps saying "The rent went up," as if it were a force of nature, but really it's "the landlord raised the rent cuz he got greedy" or "a corporation bought it and only cares about profit, not people." Thank goodness his friend Noel and the interviewees are more articulate.

    Some people are more comfortable with drawing instead of talking but I think the video let’s us know what’s happening and we can see the influence of The City pushing its snout into Shoreditch.

    The truth is you can create beautiful art out of any circumstance. Either the worst misery or the greatest bliss, although chaos and suffering stirs up our emotions with much more intensity. So is it justifiable to maintain a certain level of grunginess so it can serve as inspiration? If you have an old run down theatre, with rats, rusted pipes, and bad insulation that's been covered in grafitti and frequently used as a meeting place for poets who find inspiration in its grittiness and then remodel it to bring it up to code, it will inevitably lose a large part of the quality that made it so seductive in the first place, and thus it will lose its "soul". But cities aren't playgrounds or amusement parks unfortunately. They're supposed to provide comforts and safety from the elements. Believe me, if we eliminate world hunger and achieve peace, the world will be a VERY boring place. But ultimately that is a good thing.

    I like the insight into Shoreditch, but the artists work gets abit boring after seeing one work.
