BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Peter Bengtsen on Sept 17, 2015 13:43:56 GMT 1, Hey guys, Here today again. Anyone know of secret things I should be looking out for? Oh and I'm not talking about the VIP room The escaping children in the cauty village - they are the only non-police in the piece and are one edge
The escaping children is a nice detail, though they are not the only non-police in the installation.
On the side next to the separate installation of the police in the water can be found two women in brightly coloured dress suits (they are not standing together). At least one of them is standing by a small podium, giving a speech. Both are flanked by heavily armed guards. I think they are meant to be royalty, one of them possibly the queen.

What would you recommend to see in Bruxelles?, by Peter Bengtsen on Sept 8, 2015 22:14:53 GMT 1, There is a pissing Invader next to the pissing boy. Don't know if you've seen that. Damn, I haven't seen that one (thank you) - worth visiting the pissing boy again Out of interest how long as it been there ? I was there mid 2012, I really hope I didn't walk straight past it although being there about 2 days after the Invader exhibition at the Alice Gallery closed, suspect I did. I must have seen it but was too drunk to remember
I don't follow Invader very closely, so I'm not sure when this was put up. The photo was taken in June 2015.
Edit: from a quick search it seems these were put up in 2012 (see more here)

What would you recommend to see in Bruxelles?, by Peter Bengtsen on Sept 8, 2015 20:47:45 GMT 1, Ha - No point in starting a new thread.... I'm in Brussels tomorrow, last time I was there I remember there were a few invaders but wondering if there is anything else to try and take in, any good ROA or Dzia pieces in town? I'll have the entire evening to myself but know from past experience the galleries tend to close early so would be keen to get some Belgian street art while I'm there. I'll probably have a couple of hours to kill Thursday afternoon so might be able to grab a gallery then so if anyone knows of one in close proximity to the Eurostar station I'd appreciate the tip. nb. I've seen the pissing boy already - please tell me there's more

New Dolk murals in Denmark, by Peter Bengtsen on Sept 3, 2015 21:44:21 GMT 1, I might just be blanking right now, but when did Faile do anything that incorporated buffing? If you have watched any interviews by them or even read any interviews you would know that they are fascinated with the way that things end up on the street and how they are buffed/torn/exposed/repainted and given new life. For example - Just look at any of the 150 series and you will see that they put an image down and then buff it and then put a new image over it. They often use multiple buffing stages. They often used ripped tape on pieces - placed strategically and then painted over it and then remove the tape pieces so that it looked like torn off street posters. I guess the same goes for BAST also then as he does the same thing. It is also possible that many people on here did or do not see the process that makes Faile - Faile. Maybe it is time there is a shift in this forum to actually talk about the art and the processes rather than the prices.
I have been following Faile since the early 2000s and did my first interview with them in 2006. They are also one of the most prominently featured artists in my book from last year, so I am quite familiar with their work.
While, as you say, they are certainly inspired by the processes and layering that goes on in the street (as can be seen in their use of painted rips in some of their prints and paintings), I have never thought of their studio work as incorporating buffing per se, and certainly not in any way that is comparable to that of Borf or the new work by Dolk.

New Dolk murals in Denmark, by Peter Bengtsen on Sept 3, 2015 20:35:21 GMT 1, Dolk did kind of introduce us to his new style in his last print run 3 X Chief and it sure seemed to sell out and go for crazy money on the secondary market. Buffing or art including buffing has been on this forum for as long as I have. People do not seem to bash Faile or BORF (John Tsombikos) or BOXI and they do quite similar things. I do not get what he is doing with this new work, but I am looking everyday to see what he is doing. So I guess it is working. Just sit back and see where it goes. If you know anything about Dolk, he doesn't explain his work to anyone apparently.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by Peter Bengtsen on Jul 10, 2015 19:47:44 GMT 1, Actually I saw the post at the time on his Instagram and it's not hype.. He posted the photo of "Nobody likes me" by IHeart and mentioned it's not his..that's all it was.. Banksy doesn't have Instagram. Other than the dark NY one.
Banksy does have an Instagram account. This is it: instagram.com/banksy
The handle was changed from "banksyny" some time after BOTI ended, but it is the same account. The current "banksyny" account seems to be a copycat.
There has been no mention of IHeart on either account, as far as I am aware.

Banksy - Unusual and Rare or something else spectacular!, by Peter Bengtsen on Jul 8, 2015 19:17:29 GMT 1, To clarify, is there a Serpentine version without the printed notes?
Based on my own recollection as well as previous comments on this thread, I believe the edition also included the notes.
Love the blood splatter design though, so would want that or the gradient AP.
The red splatter is also on the edition.
In reference to the "gradient AP", are you thinking of the Napalm edition released by POW? That is an entirely different print.

WHY STREET ART IS NO LONGER THE ARTWORLD’S BASTARD., by Peter Bengtsen on Jul 8, 2015 9:51:18 GMT 1, The academic art sphere has an obsession with two terminologies: lowbrow and highbrow. Each one of these has a subtype that adjusts to a specific medium or form: galleries and public spaces, haute couture and streetwear, sculpture and pottery and stretched canvas vs. an abandoned building. The high brow is idolized and the arts belonging to the low brow are frowned upon. But what makes high art and low art so overwhelmingly different that a war must endure? Especially if these two opposites are no longer distant. www.allcitycanvas.com/why-street-art-is-no-longer-the-artworlds-bastard/Writing a credible article is difficult when your opening statement — i.e. the very premise and foundation upon which your arguments are constructed — happens to be bollocks. Unwarranted assumption fallacy.
I was going to make a similar comment when the link was first posted.
When reading through the article, I initially thought the author was discussing the wider "academic art sphere", including the field of art history and visual studies to which I in part belong. As I got further into the article, I realised that the "academic art sphere" here refers to those who teach and practice art within the context of the art academies. I have no personal experience working in that context, but it comes across to me as if the author is taking a real and personal, but also isolated, experience and elevating it to a universal schism.
While I would assume there is an interest within the "academic art sphere" to maintain its relevance, and while this may lead some to question the artistic practices that take place outside the sphere, I don't believe this constitutes an "obsession" - and certainly not an obsession with terminologies.

New book out now - "The Street Art World", by Peter Bengtsen on Jun 30, 2015 16:01:21 GMT 1, Save the Freedom of Photography!Earlier today I received a very worrying email from the Association of Art Historians concerning removing the copyright exception for taking photos in public space. If this passes, one consequence is that we in principle can no longer freely share images of street art or buildings on social media. This is clearly an important issue! However, looking at paragraph 46 it is maybe not quite as bad as suggested: " Considers that the commercial use of photographs, video footage or other images of works which are permanently located in physical public places should always be subject to prior authorisation from the authors or any proxy acting for them" (Bold is mine!) It looks to me as if non-commercial use of photographs (on social media etc) would still be Ok. Am I missing something?
I see what you mean, and perhaps AAH are painting the picture a bit more grim than it really is.
The problem is, however, that removing the exception would make it a matter of defining what "commercial use" is. For example, is a street art blog that runs advertisements a commercial outlet? Is my Instagram account, which I sometimes use to promote my work, a commercial outlet?
For academics the question is particularly pertinent. Is the use of photographs in academic books, which are commercially available but rarely make any money, to be considered commercial?
While the removal of the exception would of course not in practice prevent everyone from posting photos on social media (this would be impossible to police), it does make the legal standing less clear for those who take images in public space and choose to share them with others.

Earlier today I received a very worrying email from the Association of Art Historians concerning removing the copyright exception for taking photos in public space. If this passes, one consequence is that we in principle can no longer freely share images of street art or buildings on social media.
Please take a moment to read the below, and do sign the petition if you feel that your right to freely publish photographs taken in public space is worth preserving:
"The UK and most other EU countries currently enjoy a copyright exception for photography often referred to as “Freedom of Panorama”. This exception enables anyone standing on public ground to freely take and use images of buildings and works of art. It is a very good thing for AAH members, who use such photographs in our research, lectures and publications, but it usefully serves everyone who likes to take and share photographs.
This exception is now set to disappear due to an attempt to harmonise European law. Instead of expanding the Freedom of Panorama to all European member states, which was the original intent of the proposal, an ill thought-through amendment to the proposal may now take it away from everyone.
We recommend two ways for you to take action: You can sign this online petition; and you can write a short letter to your Members of the European Parliament (MEPs).
You can find out more about the Freedom of Panorama here. The EU makes the full proposal available online. The relevant section is paragraph 46.
Thank you very much."

New book out now - "The Street Art World", by Peter Bengtsen on Jun 18, 2015 20:46:16 GMT 1, Cheers for the info. Much appreciated. Will definitely search these out. Anything else street/urban art related worth looking at whilst in Copenhagen? Already spotted a few decent art galleries..... You should certainly check out V1 Gallery.
It's also worth taking a trip over to Malmö in Sweden (30 minutes by train from Copenhagen central station) if you want to see the murals from last year's Artscape festival. More info here: www.artscape.se/
Also, apart from the murals from the Surface project, there is a lot of graffiti and street art to take in around Vesterbro and Nørrebro. If you keep an eye out, you may even spot one of the few remaining Banksy pieces.

New book out now - "The Street Art World", by Peter Bengtsen on Jun 18, 2015 13:13:10 GMT 1, Heading to Copenhagen for a couple of weeks this Summer, so will definitely take a look at this - good chance to pick up the book too! Any ideas when the 6 large outdoor pieces will be finished - I'm there early July so hoping they are all done by then......
I should also mention that I am still taking international orders directly (might be good to know for those not going to Copenhagen).
If anyone is interested, just send a PM to discuss.

The Borondo mural is inside a courtyard which is not really accessible.

The dissecting and discussion of street and graffiti art can be quite profound at times it seems?... Me i just like my art with a pint and a spliff,, i am old school simple i guess The book does look interesting, maybe it is about time i try and expand my knowledge and understanding of the stuff that covers my private and public spaces..
The town has a pretty active graffiti scene, so there is always something new to discover.
Feel free to get in touch if you decide you want the book

Banksy Glastonbury • Painted Trailer, by Peter Bengtsen on May 31, 2015 11:48:22 GMT 1, Hi Yes I am the owner and your memory fails you my friend....... This piece has never been for sale,,, shame on you for believing media buls**t lol This piece has full pest control COA It was not stolen it was performance art, a commission done at glastonbury festival......Banksy used our trailer for a canvas...... I have read this thread and you are all arm chair experts in my opinion... I will put a few facts straight then leave you guys to your expertise!!!! I hadn't finished silly computer! there is also written proof this was a commission by banksy....... I would like to point out we are all travellers of life so all the poor travellers poor me stories the press want the easily brainwashed to believe are s**t and what i do with the money is no one business but mine! and I am as greedy as the next human being.... just as you are judgemental! Yes I can see a market value our piece is the oldest original with COA..... Stealing Banksy was a show and our piece was never for sale..... [...]
That's very odd.
In The Banksy Bugle - the catalogue for Stealing Banksy? - your work is clearly listed as a sales item (valued at £350.000).
In contrast, the painting Brace Yourself is clearly indicated as not being for sale:
That your artwork was indeed for sale was also indicated by a guide when I attended a tour of the Stealing Banksy? show. The guide said the following about your piece:
"This is at £350,000 and weighs about 4½ tonnes" (transcript from audio recording of the tour).
I am fully aware that Sincura have since claimed that Stealing Banksy? was never a sales show, but an experiment to see if there would be a basis for opening a so-called "street art museum" in central London. However, given the clear focus that was put on the monetary value of the artworks at the show, this comes across as highly disingenuous.

Fake radar rat on ebay , by Peter Bengtsen on May 30, 2015 14:58:33 GMT 1, OK, thanks. I checked Banksys wiki page and it said 2009, but that's clearly wrong then. "In May 2009, Banksy parted company with agent Steve Lazarides and announced that Pest Control..."
Yes, Pest Control existed in 2008.
