For years this was a spot to go paint with friends with little stress except the wind blowing our pieces across the wall. Hundreds of artists had painted this kilometer stretch of cement (front and back) that separates the Barcelona port from the Mediterranean Sea. Along with the construction of a luxury hotel next to this wall came the biggest wash of grey paint I have ever seen. The entire wall, front and back, was erased to a boring grey slab. So Much History had been Erased so that those at the hotel can feel like we were never there. Barcelona, Spain.
