The Graffiti in Spain has not attained the recognition that is has in other countries. It has struggled to be considered an artistic form. It is still perceived as an aggression to the urban landscape and it survives outside the gallery and the artistic professional circuits.

In the other hand, it receives a strong support from de public which more and more values the "free of charge" work of these artists. The graffiti, born more than thirty years ago, has become a reference to contemporary art production. It covers the cities of images and styles transforming the streets in an improvised gallery and simultaneously, as the "avantgart artist" did, uses the bars and night clubs as a place from which to sell their work.

Knowing that the gallery of the graffiti artist is the street and the canvas is the wall, whoy to change this context?

We propose an exhibition of real graffiti on a wall in a space that regularly shows the language that graffiti uses and in this manner we incorporate this controversial art to the art-gallery scene.

"I need to cut my ear" reivindicates the total acceptance of the artistic world toward the graffiti and toward its artists; alhought asking for this recognition we simultaneously refect the post-mortem glamour.
