Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Rouen Cathedral on Sept 11, 2020 18:27:58 GMT 1, But WOH and this ship are completely different in execution. I stated it when WOH opened. I was concerned it would be open for a month of that and fade into nothing. I criticized that aspect from the onset. I however was pleased as it lasted so long and turned into a full functioning hotel and not just a PR stunt or grab the attention spotlight for a short amount of time. It aged well and I changed my mind about it. This ship has not done that. It’s a missed opportunity at this point and that is very unfortunate. I hope to be wrong but so far there is no hint this ship will have more then one run. To me that is a shame and falls to the celebrity double standard category. Banksy successes with WOH. Oddly this appears to be a flop. Saying they are the same is incorrect. And that’s my issue. (At least at this point). Have faith.
I do. I hope he proves me wrong!

Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Rouen Cathedral on Sept 11, 2020 17:54:07 GMT 1, I didn’t say it was a negative. IE the original action of saving lives. I see it as a double standard. And I see it as potentially a marketing publicity stunt. Like I said, how many times have we seen this pony show? Rich celebrity attaches name and brand to ‘good deed’ and then disappears. Do you see that as a good thing? In the case of Banksy I think your incredibly cynical considering he has put vast personal money where his mouth is and invested in assets which attack problems directly. WOH, rescue ships...What better a direct impact can someone have. He also uses his powerful PR to raise awareness of world issues or miss justice that deserves our attention. I myself have educated myself on many of these problems as a direct result of Banksy and have started to fund some of these charities, including Choose Love for example. I’m also looking forward to visiting Palestine in order to get a better understanding of this situation. I understand your celebrity double standards theory but believe your pessimism is misplaced here.

Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Rouen Cathedral on Sept 11, 2020 16:51:19 GMT 1, At this moment in time this ‘work’ appears to be just a publicity stunt. Where is the boat now? Was Banksy even involved or is he just marketing his brand on the side of the boat? Everyone eats this up as the great Banksy saving the world yet a day later poof. He’s gone. Does it? You dont think it's creating awareness of what is happening? I dont know where the boat is now, do You? why the question? Banksy bought the boat I believe, happy to be corrected I don't think anyone thinks Banksy is saving the world, however he does more good than harm, it's pretty easy to do nothing and type hatred. However organising things like this do take time and effort and saving lives is a pretty good thing right? How many lives have we saved this year? Yet you see what he has done here as a negative, why is that?

He did not in any way “give it up”. Again though, I’m wary of side-tracking this, digressing further or taking over this thread so, with that, I’ll pipe down. You are wrong about Ali though...
He knew exactly what he was doing and what they would do to him. Yet he did it anyway.
Hence why he is the GOAT.

Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Rouen Cathedral on Aug 29, 2020 23:31:01 GMT 1, I’m glad you brought up Ali. Very timely with the NBA ‘strike’. You are right, Ali was a boxer and an activist. But do you know what when it really came down to it with Vietnam Ali put it all down and stopped boxing. He was purely an activist and one history will always remember. Picasso didn’t drop his brush and give up his life because of Guernica. That doesn’t minimize the work. That doesn’t minimize the effect of the work. But Picasso was an artist. Banksy appears to be dropping his can and doing things but then he doesn’t. I don’t know if Banksy is an artist or not. Im not even sure if Banksy is really involved much in these things. And when things are that important and life and death we saw what Muhammad Ali did for what he believed in. Others the same. That’s my point. The ambiguity of Banksy is problematic to me. Ali didn’t give up boxing, he was stripped of his boxing licence and unable to box for 4 years.
Exactly. He gave it up.

Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Rouen Cathedral on Aug 29, 2020 23:13:18 GMT 1, Did you read the rest.... haha I did but it wasn’t particularly clear why you felt that this could be so swiftly dismissed. I refuse to believe that you are either one thing or the other. Moving from art for a moment, was Muhammad Ali “only” a boxer or was he a boxer and a civil rights activist who spoke out against racism, oppression, he Vietnam war and later about Islamaphobia (both with words and actions)? Is his reputation tarnished because he (arguably) used his notoriety to speak out and be both a champion in the boxing ring and an actor for change? I do not believe or accept that a person is either one thing or the other and that the two cannot co-exist. I don’t find your argument that Banksy is “blurring” the distinctions between being an artist and/or a humanitarian/activist to be a particularly credible or strong argument. Should he sit back and do nothing about the issues that he feels strongly about (and which highlight global injustice and tragedy) so as not to upset people who think he’s “just an artist”? The full comment made by Picasso does, I think, lend further weight to my argument, "What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who only has eyes if he's a painter, ears if he's a musician, or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he's a poet – or even, if he's a boxer, only some muscles? Quite the contrary, he is at the same time a political being constantly alert to the horrifying, passionate or pleasing events in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. How is it possible to be uninterested in other men and by virtue of what cold nonchalance can you detach yourself from the life that they supply so copiously? (No, painting is not made to decorate apartments. It's an offensive and defensive weapon against the enemy.)”

Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Rouen Cathedral on Aug 29, 2020 22:06:36 GMT 1, I actually was very questioning about the Walled Off. Go back and look in my archive. It’s the same comment and the same struggle well viewing the ‘work’. I don’t think Banksy can be an artist and a philanthropist and muddy the lines. It harms the two sides in my opinion. Ah but I didn’t quote you in my comment. Why don’t you think he can be both? Picasso is a perfect example of an artist who did both with his pairing of Guernica. To quote the man himself, “Painting is not made to decorate apartments; it is an offensive and defensive instrument of war against the enemy.”
Painting Guernica is completely different.
With recent ‘works’ Banksy has activity been a participant (at least in name) on the front of line, on the streets, etc etc. he’s blurred the line of And artist creating art making a political statement Or humanitarian awareness and an artist actively participating in a political statement or humanitarian actions. To me that blurring isn’t a good thing. It dilutes and cheapens the political/humanitarian point while also creating something I’m not sure one in good will can call art.
I 100% believe Banksys goal is to blur this line and that’s my point. I think it’s a major failure.
That’s why it’s important to understand the reality of it. Did Banksy buy a boat, paint it give it to a legit entity/ program that does this daily (with no recognition) and now will swoop out and not be involved? Is that his connection? Is he actively engaged in the efforts, going to continue to fund? Is his goal to fund it, put his name on it, get it some attention and then move on to the next? Like what’s the goal?

Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Rouen Cathedral on Aug 29, 2020 21:34:49 GMT 1, Without a doubt Banksy is putting his brand/art/PRmachine all over this. The thing is I don’t see it helping his “brand”. If anything I see this as a real risk to the “brand”. There are countless ways for this to go horribly wrong. Nevertheless awareness is being raised and there are people alive now who might have died if that boat wasn’t there. If the thing that sickens you the most about this is a mediocre stencil and pink paint, then that says a lot more about you than It does anyone else. I really don’t understand this cynical view at all. Banksy has funded a boat to save more lives and, in doing so, has increased the spotlight/further highlighted a global humanitarian crisis. This is in no way “branding”. In my opinion this has absolutely nothing to do with a “brand” but his name will always bring about huge media attention and, correspondingly, will increase global pressure on nations to respond. I don’t understand how anyone can view this as anything but a truly remarkable humanitarian gesture. Were you as cynical when he opened up the Walled Off Hotel highlighting the situation of those living in (occupied) Palestine? Were you enraged when he painted Entitled Mediterranean Sea View (which appears to have been the source of funding for this boat)? How about the Love Welcomes welcome mats which is highlighting the troubles of those living in refugee camps and enabling them to earn a wage? I usually steer away from conflict here but some of the comments in this thread are both disturbing and wholly depressing.

Don’t answer the questions it’s fine. Like I said typical of this day and age. Words don’t have meaning

The fault of his is now people view everything he does as art and that’s the problem. He’s at fault for that. He needs to cease being an artist and he needs to state that. But he won’t. And that’s my issue. So your issue is he's not an artist but you're commenting on a thread and a forum dedicated to a Banksys art? Im lost but why are you here again? oh i know looking for a good flip..... aaahhhh bash banksy in hopes of a price drop..... Long live the project champion crews....

Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Rouen Cathedral on Aug 29, 2020 18:38:40 GMT 1, It is a shame that what should have been a good thread has been derailed. I suspect that that was the intention. For any part that I played in that, I apologise. Hopefully we can get back on track. For those of us who are concerned by the actions of our governments at this time regarding this crisis, a good friend of mine made a very good suggestion: we should all write to our MEP’s to lobby them to fulfil their legal obligations. I do hope he doesn’t mind me repeating the suggestion here; I suspect not.
That first paragraph is #woke
Touché!
It is a shame that what should have been a good thread has been derailed. I suspect that that was the intention. For any part that I played in that, I apologise. Hopefully we can get back on track. For those of us who are concerned by the actions of our governments at this time regarding this crisis, a good friend of mine made a very good suggestion: we should all write to our MEP’s to lobby them to fulfil their legal obligations. I do hope he doesn’t mind me repeating the suggestion here; I suspect not. That first paragraph is #woke Touché!

Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Rouen Cathedral on Aug 29, 2020 18:37:40 GMT 1, Ding ding ding. Banksy isn’t an artist anymore. And that’s fine. The fault of his is now people view everything he does as art and that’s the problem. He’s at fault for that. He needs to cease being an artist and he needs to state that. But he won’t. And that’s my issue. Gross that it needs Banksy to get new media attention to the situation. Banksy has not done this for attention to himself. Are you that thick?
So it’s not art?

Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Rouen Cathedral on Aug 29, 2020 18:11:47 GMT 1, So to be clear. The world needs Banksy to bring important topics to light. Yes. My original point stands. That’s gross. Yes, it is gross, but who are the gross ones?

Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Rouen Cathedral on Aug 29, 2020 18:04:04 GMT 1, Yes ignore someone who may have a different opinion on a topic. No need for discussion. 2020 folks! I’ve made my point regarding your post. I won’t engage with you further as to do so is utterly pointless. It has noting to do with 2020, and everything to do with you. I don’t adopt such a stance with anyone else on this forum or elsewhere. Until the next time ....

Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Rouen Cathedral on Aug 29, 2020 18:00:16 GMT 1, I'm new to this forum but the fact people are using, what is a heart warming effort to help less fortunate people, save lives and do something all EU and global governments should do, use and turn this to a finger pointing, discreditation of a person and artist who has selflessly tried to challenge political wrongs.... is a shameful backwards step and unfortunately highlights the divide that is evident in today's society. Rouen is the black hole of the forum. Anyone discussing anything with him disappears and is never seen again.... Just a sealion seeking attention which endless questions and obvious contrary "opinions" to raise more discussing. Anything Banksy will lure him from underneath his rock. (Which must be quite the rock since sea lions are rather large...) Don't engage in discussions. He needs help. Seriously.
2020! Where different opinions hurt feelings and all dialogue ceases to exist.
The world we live in.
Kind of like when boats are saving refugees all the time but it only matters once Banksy slaps his name on it and makes a cool Instagram video!

Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Rouen Cathedral on Aug 29, 2020 17:58:36 GMT 1, Interestingly it seems like there are two other boats in the same position. Yet they don’t seem to be getting the press because Banksys name isn’t painted on it...
So to be clear.

Yes. My original point stands. That’s gross.

I agree with you Ant. It’s a crying shame. Some people are best ignored.
