We Love Balls!

Filed under: Wacky, Tacky & True

ballllss.jpg

Graziano Cecchini has struck again!

The naughty artist dumped half a million brightly colored balls down Rome's famed Spanish Steps on Wednesday.

Apparently, the Italian police don't appreciate art. They detained Graziano after Wednesday's little incident.

This is just the latest stunt for Cecchini. Last year he put dye in the Trevi Fountain and turned it red.

What's next???

    Considering these are historic places visited often by many people and he might harm a human, animal or the environment, I think he will soon be jailed and Italy's citizens will be happy to house this silly jerk-prankster for a LOOOOOOOOONNNNG time.

    This isn't art, It's pure vandalism. Even good graffiti requires craft and skill. This is trash ! Where is the art… buying stuff?

    In my opinion he's a fucking genius!!!!!!
    And about lies told by italian politics….specially our current prime minister….well he needed 10 gazillion balls not half a million!!!
    The italian police should start thinking about criminals not about crazy artists that mean no phisical harm.

    italian chick speaking..
    I love cecchini and the newfuturism movement..although during the last year I've been several times and for long periods in rome I've not been able to see his "master-piece",I've left the day before the "ballsday"and the "redfontanaditrevi"..maybe the next time I'll have the chance to see it with my own eyes..maybe when he decide to colour our politicians..

    LOL!! That is freakin hilarious!! I really do feel sorry for the people who had to pick all those things up, but its still funny!!

  71. Missing info says – reply to this


    71

    This wasn't meant to be either 'art' or a prank. It's a pity Perez omitted the most important part (ie the artist's reason/ motivation/ message). "As Mr Cecchini walked down the steps, with balls bouncing around him, he added: "I am leaving for Burma, these balls will help the Karen people." The Karen, an ethnic minority descended from Tibetan refugees, have fought for an independent state since 1949 and accuse the military junta of ethnic cleansing. "

    73

    he is NOT a genius, nor an artist. He blatantly STOLE the idea from Danish director Nicolai Fuglsig who came up with the Sony Bravia ad as previously mentioned. What a fake, political message or not, be original.

    BTW a balls are definatley not a woman's dream, maybe a gay man's.

  79. Hannah says – reply to this


    79

    hi, this is a sweet artistic statement!, but he does it as a means of highlighting social issues which he thinks are important…in this case "to raise the profile of Burma and the Karen people" if possible when you mention a stunt like this could you try to mention the important reason they did it….thanks.

    Art or not, it's vandalism. Which isn't cool. He should think about the people (who aren't lying politicians) who have to waste their time cleaning up the ridiculous crap he calls art. Selfish bastard.

    I hate how you say "Graziano Cecchini has struck again!" like you've ever heard of him before today.

    Be real. Trying hard to look cool is not cool. Be yourself and don't be afraid to say "I didn't know that"

  91. bp says – reply to this


    91

    umm…dropping balls all over someone else's beautiful art work is disrespectful, not to mention the message the "artist" is trying to send is lost among the general population who say "ohhh look at all the pretty balls." very sad

    Roma, non basta una vita!
