JBOY 🇬🇧 Print Release • Art For Sale, by Peter Bengtsen on May 18, 2015 19:41:33 GMT 1, Just for clarity for the purpose of being a guardian: I just do the website, upload to the store. The occasional bit of photoshop work is done for the purposes of online. I have helped pack before, promote things and help photoshop as i say previously, but have not promoted anything at all for years on any forum. I simply updated the website url on the artists thread. The actual person doing the artwork and painting here and there is not a member here and does not read anything to do with the forums. Quite harsh really considering the stick i get, which is why i stay quiet and will continue to do so on the subject. I can update to add the website to my signoff if thats better as yes that is me. Currently it is in my signature.
You are claiming not to be Jboy, I get that.
My question is why someone - who in your own words "is not a member here and does not read anything to do with the forums" - is using one of your old screen names as their moniker?

New book out now - "The Street Art World", by Peter Bengtsen on Apr 19, 2015 10:02:24 GMT 1, Talk at Stencibility Festival in Tartu, Estonia
I will give a talk at the Stencibility Festival in Tartu, Estonia on 26 April 2015.
The talk is entitled "Street art's explorative potential". It discusses the role played by the open, unsanctioned and temporary nature of street art in enabling a critical attitude in the viewer towards public space.
I have previously discussed this in my book The Street Art World (2014).
In addition, some of the points covered in the talk can be found in my article Beyond the public art machine (2013), which is still available for free.
More information about Stencibility Festival can be found here.
Good luck with the talk Peter. For those newer members that have not bought Peter's book The Street Art World, I can heartily recommend it.
Many thanks, Coach.

New book out now - "The Street Art World", by Peter Bengtsen on Mar 10, 2015 10:54:16 GMT 1, Lisbon Street Art & Urban Creativity
Back in July 2014, a conference on street art and urban creativity took place in Lisbon.
I participated with a paper on the removal of and trading in art from the street. This is a theme which is also addressed in my book The Street Art World.
Now, a book collecting 46 of the presented papers has been published by the conference organisers. I thought that some of you might find it interesting.
I should point out that my own paper is not included. As mentioned in a previous post, it will instead be included as a chapter in an upcoming anthology published by Routledge.

Is Banksy a collective of artists?, by Peter Bengtsen on Mar 4, 2015 23:55:24 GMT 1, You'd think buy now one of the tabloid would have paid a couple a Hard Pipe Hittin' Niggas, to go to work on Steve lazrides ...with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. He wouldn't last long in revealing everything.. That is extremely inappropriate language.
It's a reference to Pulp Fiction:

Wu-Tang album auction at Paddle8, by Peter Bengtsen on Mar 4, 2015 16:54:06 GMT 1, You guys need to learn a bit here. it says "the producers revealed that whoever wins the auction will have the right to release the album to the public after 88 years." That is to the public, that is free, whatever. Its private until 88 years is up or t doesnt mean anything. jeez, how is this hard to understand?
That quote is not from the Forbes article, which is what I was referring to. It is also worth noting that you are not quoting the artists, but Peter Walsh who wrote an article on the story.
If you go to the source of the articles - a Q&A with RZA and Cilvaringz - you will find this answer to the question of a not-for-profit release:
WHAT ABOUT A SCENARIO IN WHICH A PHILANTHROPIST BOUGHT THE WORK AND RELEASED IT FOR FREE?
RZA – In that case, it would be a possibility. But bearing in mind the investment the owner would be making, we consider it unlikely.

Wu-Tang album auction at Paddle8, by Peter Bengtsen on Mar 4, 2015 15:23:28 GMT 1, Haha you just reiterated what I said! of course they "could" but they're contracted not to n the sale. If you bought a banksy original you "could" make sets of unsigned prints, but you likely wouldn't.
The Forbes article states repeatedly that the buyer cannot release the album commercially.
However, I don't see anything in the article to suggest that releasing it for free - online or otherwise - would be a problem. The acknowledgement by RZA cited at the end of the article and by msobel3 suggests that a not-for-profit release would be ok.

Which size is the 'No news today' - the smaller one, correct? Any ballpark regarding price? Yes smaller, not sure what going rate is?

When Did You Start Collecting and What Was Your First Piece, by Peter Bengtsen on Feb 10, 2015 9:41:44 GMT 1, Would you by chance understand the title for the piece, Tiffany for Breakfast? I don't quite get it myself. No explanation I've come up with actually works. At least not without being forced and unsatisfactory, bearing in mind the book and film storyline and the name of the character played by Hepburn. That's the reference. It's an iconic shot that an artist appropriated/made his own.
I think what met is getting at is that the character played by Hepburn is named Holly, not Tiffany.
The title of the artwork - and, by extension, the artwork itself - therefore comes across as nonsensical and lazy.

Visit NEW YORK 🇺🇲 Street Art, Galleries, Events, by Peter Bengtsen on Feb 10, 2015 8:59:43 GMT 1, Oh and some dick tagged over the Borf on Castor Gallery's storefront. Real shame. "Bunch of savages in this town." The graf kids def don't make it easy for anyone. A wall's a wall but the storefront is a low blow for sure. Ebb and flow. There seems to have been some confusion about the Borf piece among writers. As you can see from the below excerpt from Instagram, Rekaone believed that someone had simply buffed a throwie by Jade (who passed away prior).
I - along with several others - then pointed out that it was the work of Borf, and Castor Gallery confirmed that the whole piece, including the throwies, had been created by Borf.
The misunderstanding was cleared up in this case, but there may be others who are still under the impression that it was either a "shitty buff attempt" or that Borf had gone over Jade.

Banksy vs Bristol Museum - brand "new" photos, by Peter Bengtsen on Feb 9, 2015 12:01:50 GMT 1, The statue with a paint pot on it's head remains a permanent exhibit at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery as Banksy gifted it to Bristol. It remains in the main entrance hall to the museum where it was originally placed.
Indeed, here is a photo from last summer:

Best Sandra Chevrier Image, by Peter Bengtsen on Feb 1, 2015 13:45:11 GMT 1, As an aside, Banksy hasn't really evolved in my opinion, the execution is better (some early work is awful) but the social commentary, so powerful in the early days, just isn't there for me anymore. However he will always be hugely collectable and valuable as the standard bearer for a whole movement in art history.
I don't mean to derail the thread, but feel that this aside should be challenged.
I don't agree that Banksy has not evolved as an artist. In order to see the evolution, however, I think you need to look beyond the individual artworks and technical improvements.
For example, while some of the pieces created for Better Out Than In were not that great (while others were fantastic), the show as a whole pushed the boundaries of audience involvement. It had people running around New York City to discover and experience the artworks.
BOTI also had people sharing the artworks - and their personal experiences - online in a way that I have never seen before. Rather than simply creating social commentary (which Banksy also did e.g. with the Central Park stall and the beaver stencil in East New York), this project actually constituted an interactive social experience.
So I would certainly say that Banksy continues to evolve as an artist.

Laz Emporium • Steve Lazarides , by Peter Bengtsen on Jan 27, 2015 20:04:58 GMT 1, >>>>I’m constantly being persecuted for being honest,” he laughs. <<<< Wow, was that nervous laughter perhaps? >>>Unlike many galleries, Lazarides does not work with the secondary market<<< A very telling statement about the depths to which this journalist did their research. She's the "curator" for Soho House which is wallpapered with Yeo wallpaper in Berlin and London and stuffed full of works from his stable of artists. It's a fluff promo piece for the sale is all. Par for the course.
She also wrote a book called Street Renegades: New Underground Art (2007).

(read brutal and .. even Scum .. now there's a flashback for some of you..) "made in britain" - when i see laz photo in that interview.. he has a look of complete and utter contempt... verging on hatred.
