  Banksy handpicked works by 58 artists, from Damien Hirst to Jenny Holzer, to fill Dismaland. Here is a work by Jimmy Cauty, once part of KLF, called The Aftermath Dislocation Principle, Part One: A Small World Re-enactment

I would go and see this - it's not exactly my cup of tea but it would bea thign to take the girlfriend to.

Kudos on the effort I say

 

Jimmy Cauty's work looks interesting.

Believe he was one of the guys that burnt a1 million pounds on a beach on a Scottish island. fucking stupid thing to do but I guess it was art.

Installation statement art big enough to be a theme park which can explain the statement. I'd check this out if I had the spare monedas and time. Chris Burden (RIP) would be interested

[backwaterbutthole 67]

Banksy and Damien Hirst :mask:

[!@#$% 624]

yea. i actually like Banksy.

[One Man Banned 3,423]

I liked him before it was cool to like him. Does that make me cool? I think not.

In other news, what is this lasagne they speak of?

[simon sandleshit 158]

i thought this statements made with the art were spot on, i saw some sort of video on it. showed a little more

[Donald Chump 25]

Yeah, I questioned the Banksy hate on here a few usernames back, hell, I'll even go as far as to say that I like street art in general. A lot of it is people trying too hard and being and wankers but some of it's cool...., reminds me of graffiti, to be honest.

 

I'd check this out, be worth an afternoon cruising around and having a bit of a squiz.

[KILZ FILLZ 982]

I don't like him or really care about him

 

if Banksy is even a single person...

[theprotester 955]

I enjoy the hatred, because at some level I'm sure he wishes he was accepted by the illegal graffiti world.

 

Then again, dude got up on the Simpsons, so who's the real winner.
