Enough with the exposure !, by Daniel Silk on Aug 2, 2008 11:10:05 GMT 1, I must of misunderstood then Silky, it sounded like you were saying that you receive messages from 'people' to tell you if stuff is legit or not and these people hadn't contacted you about the Daily Mail interview yet - so it must be true. I thought that was a bit out of order to say on a Banksy exposed thread. No qualms.
Thats about it, but it in no way said or implied the Daily Mail piece was true or not.

Would I not be then accused of censorship?

As a Banksy fan, I think it is out of order to even say what you did. Banksy is a b-boy breakdancer, can't we just leave it at that please and send this thread to the depths of hell. Thanks.

Superb post. I think that just about sums up why there would be a sudden lack of communication now.

Thats about as far fetched as saying Banksy aint released a print recently coz he's joined NASA and is currently busy doing Graffiti on the Moon ;D

Enough with the exposure !, by curiousgeorge on Aug 2, 2008 15:01:52 GMT 1, Have people nothing better to do, than vent frustration at the management??
Maybe this is way out there in terms of thinking, but why on this site do we not discuss the points Banksy tries to bring to everyone's attention via painting.
For example the 'yoot with a blade' at Cans, such a strong message and something that cannot be ignored for much longer. For the most part this place is full of adults where idea's could be bounced around, Personally i see Banksy pointing out issues which do need the attention (of the masses)
Point being knife crime is out of control, and kids need educating and dare i say perhaps a change in the law regarding carrying knives?. Nothing will ever change while we all sit back and admire pictures in frames alongside 40" flat screen televisions and the like.
If i were Banksy, i would be holding my head in hands in frustration that people don't act on very important issues,maybe I'm wrong but a petition on knife crime and the penalties would have been the best thing to come from the Cans festival?
Wonder how many lives have been lost since it was put up?

Huh?? I think it was more a conversation to do with people not wanting to find out Banksy's identity.
Anyway, no thanks I don't want to talk about knife crime, although I am sure others will. Cheers.

I could't agree with you more, curiousgeorge. Sites like this have evolved into one purpose - consumerism. No wonder Banksy calls us sh!t-buying morons. We can do better.

For anyone interested or wants to help there are some links here

The name Banksy isn't famous the world over because he wrote it on a wall. It's the political, social and cultural comments that went with the name that have captured peoples' hearts and minds.

Now which four people dead or alive would you like to go on a weekend pissup with? I'll start and no banksy!
1. Oliver Reed 2. Errol Flynn 3. Ozzy Osbourne 4. Salvadore Dali

Enough with the exposure !, by becksaboo on Aug 3, 2008 21:43:16 GMT 1, Felix I think that's a great idea as his ideas and messages are part of the reason why i'm attracted to banksy in the first place.
One of the most interesting threads (IMHO) was the one which evolved from the announced that santas ghetto was in bethleham as it opened my eyes to many things - and not just political.
This is what this forum can do well - provide information about a variety of topics relating to art and the messages being portrayed. Bitching about who he is is what the forum does not do well.

Enough with the exposure !, by mcster on Aug 4, 2008 8:14:41 GMT 1, Having started this thread and read through all the replies, I'm surprised it's stayed on here so long !
I did call for (and still agree with) the locking of a previous thread. This is unusual for me - on the whole I am anti-censorship - and the request was a one-off based entirely on the fact that those who have it in for Banksy could be using the thread against him.
I totally agree that discussing the content of the art produced by Banksy and the other artists we follow is far more impotant and interesting, it's just that was what was bugging me at that point !
Peace everyone - we're all pretty much on the same side I'm sure...
