>This event was inspired by the words of Judge Alan Berg sentencing
>two Manchester graffiti writers, August 2004.

>?People don't want to see this graffiti, whatever you might think. It is
>not attractive, it is ugly. You saw yourselves as latter-day
>Michelangelos. While you may consider what you do as art, this is not
>right, it is vandalism of the worst sort.?
>
>One year on, the two writers have collaborated with UHC to produce
>a unique piece of artwork which combines graffiti with renaissance
>art. The work created will be on display for one night only, and will be
>cut up live and sold in sections by the yard!
>
>All profits raised from this event will go to a new fighting fund for
>criminalised Manchester artists, supporting those facing prosecution
>and imprisonment. Come and show your support, and maybe walk
>away with a piece of original artwork.
>
>The Warsaw Project Space is an artist-run gallery just behind the
>Daily Express building in Ancoats. It is not a loft apartment.
>
>Refreshments and entertainment will be provided.
