Advice: if you have the time and money use this as an excuse to get out there, you wont be disappointed.

Santas Ghetto = Bethlehem, by rolyateel on Dec 3, 2007 14:14:44 GMT 1, Whilst I applaud PoW for this, I'm not sure the shop needs to be in Bethlehem, or that anyone needs to travel there for the issue to be highlighted. The fact that some infamous artists have hit the wall again with some though provoking art should be enough - that & the fact that profits are being donated to charities in the region.
The region is on the news regularly enough, and anyone who hasn't already realised how piss-poor the situation is over there must be blind / deaf / retarded. As long as our government & the US government stand by & do nothing whilst Israel treats the Palestinians like shit, the situation will remain.
Not sure how the West Bank differs from the Gaza Strip (other then the fact that Hamas governs Gaza & not the West Bank), but I personally wouldn't want to travel there.
I went there in 1980 on a school trip, and was luck enough to visit Jerusalem & Bethlehem, and even though I was young, I remember it being slightly scary even then, & things have deteriorated horribly since then.

Seems that SG in Bethlehem will be an auction....
"All pieces at the exhibition will be sold to the highest bidder and the proceeds donated to local charities."
This is my mate lainey a few years ago ...

Note the second to last paragraph.

same as... i only hope that what you are going for (Banksy) is actually on sale. In the past the releases were staggered through out the month. Maybe with people travelling so far they will be selling everything through out the month but .... that may not be the case and people could be disappointed. I hope not as its a lot of money to spend just getting there.

So basically you can only bid on any of the original items if you actually go there, then at the end of the show they go to whoever the winner is.

Are you talking about the prints? they will all be online - there wont be any over there available to buy.
Guess I was wrong there are 2 editions!

Common sense... they're not going to take 1000s of prints out there They'll sell them online

indeed. and before i rushed over to book a flight there (which i am not) i'd really want to ask what I'm going for. Hell of a life experience that's for sure. But if you're just going to go place some bids on some auction pieces, I wouldnt be too hasty. So, make sure if you are going b/c of SG you can actually buy stuff there Also, as pez and other have stressed, do your research, dont book blindly and be both sensible and vigilant in any travels.

Curley,
If i went there it would not be for getting a Banksy, that's said with my hand on my heart...I think it's now clear that it's about the bigger picture. If that was my only motivation I would have to be pretty dam shallow!
