Hijacked

Here we are, said SPLOSH! at the entrance to the Samstag Museum. You're in for a treat. Not that you deserve one, she added.

Me? said Gaius, looking hurt.

No, him, said SPLOSH!, indicating Gustave. But never mind, get ready to be blown away!

They entered the exhibition space. The walls were lined with huge colourful canvases of various types of street art by Chor Boogie, Dlux! B.U.G.A.U.P, Phibs, Scram, Zap and Zombe.

Wow! said SPLOSH! Don't you love it!

Colourful, said Gustave. And large.

Mmm, said Gaius. I don't like it. I feel that street art loses street cred when displayed in a gallery.

Street cred! Crap! said SPLOSH! This gives it the exposure it deserves. This is the way forward for graffiti artists. Removable panels on city walls. Don't you see how fantastic it is?

No, said Gaius. I'm going upstairs to look at HIJACKED 2.

I'm coming with you, said Gustave.

And they both got into the lift, leaving SPLOSH! downstairs on her own.
