ShortFuse Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I think it opened Yesterday. A 3 month gallery of banksys new work. The closed the whole museum and he and his crew reworked the whole thing. Looks awesome but Im stuck here in the US. BBC report http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/arts_and_culture/8096810.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Soooo none of you would ever want a whole museum of only your work? How is he a media whore by doing something any artist would love to do? And I don't think his art is considered "street art" anymore.

Weapon X Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 The robotics thing looks kinda cool. Anyone else feel shit like this is just co-opting graffiti more than it already has been? first of all, banksy does stencils, no? second, i'm sure your city has big legal walls and ad walls. they might not be as cool as real graffiti, but at least someone of repute (hopefully) is getting paid. graffiti isn't the way most writers get money. the ones that do probably have day jobs. the guys in the suits are just pulling strings, making loot. no harm, not much foul.

Realism Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I'll go To smear shit everywhere. And Banksy will be considered as an enabler for the spur of the moment abstract exhibit you'll be responsible for, which in turn will be hailed as an artistic tour de force.

shaolinmasta Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Why do people care what this guy is doing...... He's making money and I've never heard him try to claim he is a graffiti god. Traditional graffiti and banksy are miles apart. Anyone with half a brain would know this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortFuse Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 ha shit I just saw it as a post on some other blog site and thought Id throw in the thread...didnt think it would spawn such hate. I only threw it in CH0 to get some reaction because the Duty Free and Untitled area is so dead space or just plain limited opinions. I personally like banksy and I feel that he isnt respected because A: hes not an american graffiti artist B: he does stencils C: He has galleries. Thats just to show a few reasons Ive heard in the past. Respect him for showing very strong and controversial art. His stuff is based on issues in the world not just the fancy abstract bullshit you see all other artists pumping out or that other stuff thats just literally candy art. Respect him for staying illusive. I mean I dont know how far it goes but it seems hes still anonymous. Hes popular and people still flock to his work knowing they wont see him. You got other graffiti artists that are popular like Cope2, seen, KAWS, HENSE etc producing shit and putting stuff in galleries, showing faces, and becoming public. Banksy from the looks of is holding back and doesnt seem like hes going the way of the flock. I respect that about him because I too always loved that about graff. Sheit sorry I got angst against Hense for the whole scion and cartoon network graffiti car thing. IMa stop because Im been drinking and need to just let it all go.
