Ana Botella crew

1ana detalle arte hurbano

Ana Botella is the wife of the former Spanish President José María Aznar, the one who started the Iraq War alongside Bush and Blair.

Currently she is also in charge of the department of the Environment in the City of Madrid.  And it´s quite ridiculous because her husband is one of the most prominent Spanish neocons arguing publicly that the weather change, and the environmental crisis are not real. He has been organizing master lectures at universities talking about the the weather change conspiracy ,and adding that all this thing is a fake created by a new communism! Ana Botella follows this trend, and at the local level has carried the disdain for environmental practices to her own department at City Hall and has expanded this repressive policies to include social and cultural practices.

She is also a member of the right religious organization called OPUS DEI (The right of the right in the Holy Fucking Catholic Church)

She said that GRAFFITI is not an ART, and that Madrid spends 6 millions per year erasing graffiti, demagogically concluding that “with this money, we could have built 6 hospitals”

I´ll destroy GRAFFITI“, she added.

For all these reasons, and as a reaction to the stupid letter that she sent to every madrilian with her signature arguing among her measures for “integral cleaning of the city”  that all graffiti was going to be removed, we had the idea of doing this open action using her own medicine! In fact, with so many politicians proposing recently to use municipal money to hire forensic graphologist to identify taggers and other street artist, we though it would be a nice touch to use her own signature in this project. And that action became really popular in Spain and also in other countries. For instance The Independent of London talks about us…

Buena Vista Social Club – El Cuarto de Tula
I’ve been spending a lot of time with my parents, and this song has come up a lot. It’s about a woman whose house burns down because she forgot to blow out a candle. You’d never guess how tragic the lyrics are by listening to the up-tempo nature of the music.
the Beastie BoysThe Move
Love the lyrics on this one, particularly the line that goes “I’m intercontinental when I eat French toast.” Plus, I admire any song in which the band thinks to rhyme the words “neck” and “Toulouse-Lautrec.”
Molotov – Chinga tu madre
It’s one of the band’s earlier songs. A total classic. I never get tired of it.

Run DMC with Fat Joe
Ay papi
The perfect soundtrack for a hot summer in NYC.
the White StripesIcky Thump
I was listening to this through my most recent airplane landing at JFK and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since.
