Comment from Mark Dery
File of articles, website printouts (including statements from the group’s own website) about the Australian billboard subvertisers B.U.G.A. U.P. (Billboard-Utilizing Graffitists Against Unhealthy Promotions), a pun on the Aussie slang phrase “bugger up,” meaning to foul up something, hopelessly botch a task, etc. (Note: Clippings, mostly photos of BUGA UP’s work without editorial comment, are from unidentified sources clipped and photocopied by Craig Baldwin and given to M.D. during interview in S.F. in the 1990’s.)
