Barry McGee, aka Twist, is probably the most well regarded artist coming from underground graffiti scene. I guess the question is, how do you deal with something inherently subversive and outlawed and put it in an institution? I guess in some way, Koolhaas is exploiting that in his "Content". It is fine, but I am trying to understand whether it is a sudden appreciation of the cult of graffiti, or is it commoditize whatever you can find, or something else?
