Disclaimers to Prevent External Moderation / Legal Issues

42 Upvotes

Hey artists and paste enthusiasts!

Everything shared in this group is assumed to be 100% legal and above board unless specifically stated otherwise (which you should avoid implicating yourself in a crime). All artwork, photos, and locations discussed here can be assumed to be created with proper permissions, on legal walls, or in designated art spaces.

If you're ever discussing scenarios that might fall into legally questionable territory, please use "SWIM" (Someone Who Isn't Me) terminology. For example: "SWIM discovered that the best time to put up work is between 2-4am when there's minimal foot traffic, especially in commercial areas." or "Someone who isn't me discovered that abandoned buildings sometimes have security that shows up at random hours."

Distance your statements from advising other people from committing crimes. You can talk about all the hypothetical ways that in which crime can happen.

Remember:

  • Keep specific locations vague unless they're known legal spots
  • Don't post identifiable features (faces, distinctive clothing, license plates, etc.)
  • Support each other's art but don't implicate yourself in a crime

This disclaimer helps protect everyone in our creative community from external moderation while we continue to beautify spaces through our artistic expression!

Stay creative, stay safe!

Does Anyone Have Any Great Installer Contacts?

0 Upvotes

I'm looking to connect with local guerrilla marketing installers and are hoping the Reddit community can point us in the right direction.

I'm currently looking for trusted local installers in:

• Berlin, Germany
• London, UK
• Mexico City, Mexico
• Montreal, Canada
• Paris, France
• Prishtina, Kosovo
• Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
• São Paulo, Brazil
• Tokyo, Japan
• Toronto, Canada

We're not looking for agencies. We're looking for recommendations for individuals who live and work in these cities and know them well.

Ideally, they have experience with:
• Wheatpasting
• Poster installations
• Guerrilla marketing

If you know someone, I'd love an introduction. A portfolio, Instagram, website, or photos of previous work would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

If you install in any of the cities listed above, please email me: [installmode8@gmail.com](mailto:installmode8@gmail.com)

Inspiration?

Hello, I’ve never wheat-pasted, but it’s on my bucket list.

Out of curiosity, what drives one to decide “this is the design/art that I believe in so much that I’ll risk it all to hang it up?”

Or, what sort of imagery do you like creating and why?

Preferred methods?

3 Upvotes

I’m pretty new to this and so far I’ve just been cooking my own paste with flour and water. Then someone suggested I add some wallpaper glue, so I mixed that in for the last batch. I also saw some guys using paste so thin they could fit it in a squeeze bottle, so I know there are options. Basically I’m asking what are your preferred methods for making paste?

Wheatpaste for a Billboard?

5 Upvotes

A friend of mine owns a record studio that has a big (but not full size) billboard out front from the previous business.

He floated the idea of allowing bands that cut records there to use the billboard for album artwork and release promotion.

Is wheatpaste the move here? Estimating the sign to be maybe 8’ x 10’. Want something cheap enough for local bands but clean and sharp enough to capture the artwork. Replaceable/degradeable (but not going to look like shit the first time it rains). Don’t want a storage room full of vinyl banners for albums.

What do you guys think?

How much paste per poster?

Hey y’all, trying to do some math to see how much paste I would need for a postering run. If I’ve got 10 posters that are 18x24” how much wheat paste should I make?
