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!

Looking for a wheat paste Installer by 9/2

1 Upvotes

Hello! I work with a contemporary art gallery in the LES and we are looking for someone to install some wheat paste posters either Sunday, Monday, Tuesday (31st, 1st, 2nd). We are hoping to install 6-12 total prints at 3-6 different locations around the LES area. They are about 60" tall. We will provide the prints and possibly the wheat paste (if you have your own even better!). Ideally we would work with someone who is familiar with wheat paste locations in the area.

Question about Wheatpaste

1 Upvotes

Hi all!

English is not my native language so I'll try to explain as best as I can.

I pasted three of my artworks all over town (different walls). I noticed after just 2 or 3 weeks that two of them completely disappeared. One left a weird trace on the wall like water stains that are still there, and the other one looked like some acid slowly ate them up and within a week also shrunk and disappeared. Does this mean that my wheat paste mix was too aggressive? The third one was okay, but the wall texture was different and more smooth.

Is this a reasonable quote/ should I be upset

12 Upvotes

So I had a close friend (who is a teenager and runs a small business) that needed 6 posters (24x36) put up around our city, for the route that she needed this done, it really should've taken maybe 2 hours max. She already had gotten the posters printed, and our mutual friend reached out and asked about doing it for her. When it was time to put the posters up, the person putting them up (the mutual "friend") invited another perosn to help. They ended up charging $300 to put the 6 posters up. Broken up by $20/hr for the 2 hours it took to make the paste (which sounded fair), then $20 per poster, per person- so really $40 per poster. My friend and I are frustrated at the fact that it became a 2 person job, and was not an hourly rate or anything near what we would consider reasonable. She still paid them because of how uncomfortable it would've been to argue about the price- because she's never paid someone to do this- and they had already made the paste. However, we don't know as much about wheatpasting-is this an unreasonable price?

Last post on this thread was popular, so posting here again. Will be checking my messages daily this time I apologize!!

I offer full service posting campaigns or just printing if you’re interested in that also. It’s a very specialty paper and I have multiple sizes available.

Turnaround time for a campaign is about five business days from the final designs to go live. Printing alone can be done and delivered to within three business days or less.

Message me! Thank you all!!

Printer recommendations?

6 Upvotes

Hello hello, want to start wheat pasting and have been considering getting my own printer, any recommendations? Can probably spend up to 300 euro for the right one but cheaper would be better! I also am looking for one that has reasonably priced ink refills. Any advice would be appreciated!
