I looked into what MNG meant, and got way more than I bargained for, as it led to me pissing away an hour on the umpteen websites and fotostreams devoted to Buenos Aires graffiti, both political and not.  Here's a photo of another MNG from Michael Ramalla on Flickr.  I also found this post from magicalurbanism.com on political graffiti in Buenos Aires, mostly centered around the dictatorship and the disappeared.

Now, the really good stuff.  I found the actual artists' websites.  Notice at the bottom of the photo above is says "elodio"?  Here he/she is.  Apparent friend of el odio, Koam, has a fotostream on Flickr here.  Having briefly been obsessed with hip hop culture and the "pillar of hip hop" called writing (graffiti), I can satisfy myself with competing narratives played out in private/public spaces and their reacquisition for creative purposes.  And these guys get to keep vandalizing.  Everybody wins.  With the exception of the property owners.  But they don't have a website.

Now for the grand finale, this masterpiece...


     Love it.
