Badley
1 Misspelling of badly. Self-referential as it is a badly spelt version of that which is badly done. An artistic equivalent would be to take an accident, misspelling , mistake or glitch, and re-appropriate it as something purposeful and intended. See also: Dance To The Music of Time (Nicolas Poussin); The Large Glass (Duchamp); T ravelling Salesman (Richard Prince).
