HOW TO TRESPASS (LEGALLY*): THE ART OF WHEAT-PASTE PERMISSION

HOW TO TRESPASS (LEGALLY*): THE ART OF WHEAT-PASTE PERMISSION

Spoiler: It’s not trespassing if you’re “beautifying urban decay.”

Cities are littered with walls begging for rebellion. But before you dunk that brush in wheat paste, know this: getting caught is for amateurs. Here’s how we hit high-traffic zones without cuffs:

THE HOLY TRINITY OF LEGALLY-GRAY WALLS:

• Condemned Buildings: City’s already written them off. Slap your art where the rats party.
• Construction Barricades: Developers won’t buff until the crane leaves. Exploit their timeline.
• Utility Boxes: Municipal property = slow removal. Pro tip: paste OVER the “Post No Bills” sign.

OPERATION GHOST PROTOCOL (AKA THE 3AM WINDOW):
Cops patrol dinner rushes and rush hours. They don’t patrol existential dread hours. At 3:11AM:

• Wear black (obviously) but carry a hard hat. Looks “official.”
• Park a block away. Never let your getaway car become evidence.
• Use silent paste. Yes, glue can squelch if you’re sloppy.

WHEN COPS ROLL UP:

“Just testing adhesion for a public art grant, officer!”
