Can vandalism help to change the world?
Transgressive art – is it just irritating?
Can it be conservative?
Is transgressive art a step towards something else?
Is it just the destruction of old values?
Can transgression be  the by-product rather than the aim?
Is transgression radical?
Exploiting in order to denounce exploitation - can we not denounce without being exploitative?
