Pino Boresta's TV Graffiti Performance on 'Chi ti conosce?'

Italian street artist Pino Boresta recounts his experience on the TV quiz show 'Chi ti conosce?' on NOVE, aired September 11, 2018. Despite being known for sticker art rather than graffiti, Boresta was asked to create a spray-painted graffiti of host Max Giusti's nickname 'MAX' within one minute. He faced challenges such as mislabeled spray cans and time pressure, but improvised using childhood skills of writing connected letters. His performance, including using two cans simultaneously, impressed Giusti and the audience. Boresta later reflected on the absurdity of the situation, comparing it to John Cage's appearance on Mike Bongiorno's 'Lascia o Raddoppia' as a mushroom expert. The article, published on Artribune, blends personal narrative with reflections on art, performance, and television.
