Islington Pub - Banksy?, by Daniel Silk on Oct 15, 2009 20:48:15 GMT 1, www.islingtongazette.co.uk/content/islington/gazette/news/story.aspx?brand=ISLGOnline&category=news&tBrand=northlondon24&tCategory=newsislg&itemid=WeED14%20Oct%202009%2015%3A33%3A38%3A120
"AN EXCLUSIVE new artwork by guerrilla graffiti artist Banksy is to go on display in an Islington pub next weekend.
The Library, in Upper Street, is to be taken over by uber-cool Bristol art collective Crazy Fools for two days only on October 24 and 25 as it is transformed into a cutting edge "pop-up" gallery to celebrate the launch of their new website. As well as the new Bansky several street installations from his Wall & Piece book will be on display alongside original works by collaborator Inkie and Massive Attack singer 3D.
A spokesman for Crazy Fools said: "We've never done anything on this scale before. We're completely taking over The Library with art happening everywhere possible. "There's going to be stuff bursting out the windows, performance artists outside, live installations, exclusive works - we just want to bring a piece of Bristol to London, show you how we do things."
The free exhibition will be open from 2pm until 10pm."

"I first met Banksy back in 97 when he tattooed a flying rat on the back of my calf. We fell out when in 2001, when I tried to flip myself on EBay and have scarcely spoken since the amputationโฆ But still I regard him as one of my closest friends, and would not reveal his identity however much you paid me."

Somehow I doubt there'll be anything really new, or that this has anything to do with Banksy!?

Islington Pub - Banksy?, by Agent Provocateur on Oct 24, 2009 16:57:33 GMT 1, Got down there 'bout 1, nice little exhibition, good to see lot's of Levi C's work. Saw my first watch tower from Bethlehem, blu's I think, and there were two older stencils by Nick Walker and Paul Insect. Have to say the Trolley Hunters on end paper looked the wasps ballons... suppose for 15k it should be  The TMA London was quality too.
My only disappointment was 'the Banksy self portrait' which I was fascinated to see... 'fraid it turned out to be a large digital print / photocopy of his canvas 'Portrait of an artist' (that maybe totally wrong title sorry  ). The oil painting of the artist painting an abstract creature as a perfect nude.
Worth nipping in if you're in the area.

Always forget the most important thing to mention... when approaching the pub the best part of the whole show was seeing the enormous octopus tentacles snaking out of all the upstairs windows... cracking piece of installation art. Hopefully someone got some good photos of it, surreal is not the word.
