Funny Old Street
Photos & Words by Salina Christmas


No doubt there is a subversive art movement growing in this area, driven not by can-spraying surfer kids and university students, but by media professionals who object to the way their arts are prostituted in the name of 'bottomline'.

And increasingly, as I visit more art openings, I encounter quite a few City professionals — bankers, lawyers and such — showing an interest, if not actually participating, in this movement.

It has no name yet. But maybe it shouldn't have one.
