BONGO ONCE AGAIN RAISE QUESTION ON BANKSYART.ORG, by BONGO on May 9, 2008 12:48:43 GMT 1, THE PROBLEM WITH REMOVING AN EXAMPLE OF A RAT AS ABOVE IS MAINTAINING THE INTEGRITY OF THE WORK ITSELF THROUGH A POTENTIALLY DISRUPTIVE EXTRACTION PROCESS
MANY BANKSY PIECES ARE ON RENDERED WALLS THAT PROVIDE THE INTEGRITY TO MAKE REMOVAL A POSSIBILITY
BY UTILISATION OF THE TOOLS OF THE OPPORTUNITS, SAY AN ANGLE GRINDER, IT IS POSSIBLE TO DISRUPT THE STABILITY OF THE IMAGE AND ENSURE THAT THE PIECE IS UNLIKEY TO BE REMOVED INTACT OR WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE
MARKING THE PIECE AS BEING THUS SABOTAGED WOULD ENSURE NO ATTEMPT IS MADE FOR ITS REMOVAL. A NOT FOR REASALE TAG MAY BE APT.
BONGO HAS NOTICED THE PROLIFERATION OF RAPACIOUS PRIVATELY OWNED CASHPOINT MACHINES IN CORNERS SHOPS THAT AS WELL AS TAKING A COMMISSION FOR THE SERVICE ARE BOOBY TRAPPED TO ENSURE ATTEMPTED THEFT IS LARGELY FUTILE

BONGO ONCE AGAIN RAISE QUESTION ON BANKSYART.ORG, by BONGO on May 8, 2008 17:36:26 GMT 1, LATER IMPROVISED AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS TO A TRANSIENT PIECE OF STREET ART COULD BE INTERPRETED AS AN EXPECTED PART OF THE LIFE OF SUCH A WORK AND AS AN IDEA, SHOULD BE APPLAUDED IN MANY WAYS
STATIC ART IS DEAD ART SOME WOULD ARGUE
CREATIVE EMBELLISHMENT WOULD BE THE NEXT STAGE OF STREET ART EVOLUTION AND CONVERSLEY ENHANCE THE WORKS LIKELEYHOOD OF REMAINING IN SITU AS IT WOULD REDUCE ITS MARKETABLE VALUE FOR THESE PARASITES
TAKING CONTROL CAN HAVE MANY FACETS

BONGO ONCE AGAIN RAISE QUESTION ON BANKSYART.ORG, by BONGO on May 8, 2008 17:22:13 GMT 1, "Banksy is the most influential and well known guerrilla artist in the world and on 21 May 2007 he gained the award for Art's Greatest living Briton.
Our gallery is the only available source of his street art; carefully collected, verified and preserved.
We are part of the Banksy Reclamation Project which was established to collect his various pieces produced in Bristol and London and safeguard them.
It is estimated that 70%-85% of Banksy’s outdoor work has already been lost, owing to local authority cleaning operations or subsequent vandalism.
We have managed to appropriate several of his most famous works created since 2001 and provide them for international distribution.
We continue to collect his pieces through a network of agents and private sellers and are set to expand the collection by another 25-40 pieces by July 2009.
Banky’s pieces command consistently high prices in high profile sales and his street art, as distributed here, is solidly positioned to increase in value as his work becomes more scarce. BBC NEWS- Contemporary Art Value Increases by 55% in One Year
A recent work of Banksy's sourced from a private wall in Notting Hill, London, fetched a bid of £208,000. Banksy Sky News
In addition Banksy's fame as an artist continues to rise as shown by the traffic volume to his website. This will correlate in increased value and a wider customer base.
On 7 February 2007, Sotheby's auction house in London auctioned three Banksy works, reaching the highest ever price for a Banksy work at auction: over £102,000 for his Bombing Middle England. Two of his other graffiti works, Balloon Girl and Bomb Hugger, sold for £37,200 and £31,200 respectively, which were well above their estimated prices. The following day's auction saw a further three Banksy works reach soaring prices. Ballerina With Action Man Parts reached £96,000; Glory sold for £72,000; Untitled (2004) sold for £33,600 - all prices being significantly above estimated values. On April 27, 2007, a new record high for the sale of Banksy's work was set with the auction of the work 'Space Girl & Bird' fetching £288,000 ($576,000), around 20 times the estimate at Bonhams of London.
We provide access to the widest available range of Banksy's street art and represent both purchasers and sellers throughout the world."
BONGO SPEND TIME REFLECTING ON THIS SITE AFTER CANS FESTIVAL

Looking For Banksy, by BONGO on May 5, 2008 20:05:33 GMT 1, BONGO HAVE REVIEWED THIS THREAD AND HAS COME TO A CONCLUSION BASED ON WHAT LITTLE FACT SEEMS TO HAVE REARED ITS HEAD SO FAR
1) SHOW ABOUT TRYING TO FIND BANKSY 2) FEARNE COTTON
BONGO CAN CONCLUDE THAT THIS IS LIKELY TO BE A PRIME EXAMPLE OF A SHODDY, LAZY, EXPLOITATIVE , UNORIGINAL, DERIVATIVE, UNIMAGINATIVE, FACILE, TRITE , THIRD RATE, REGRESSIVE PROGRAMME EVER
BONGO THINKS THAT WHOEVER IS BANKROLLING THIS PROJECT SHOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY SLEEPING AT NIGHT.
BONGO SAYS AVOID

Banksy Bomb Middle England Print • 2003 , by BONGO on May 1, 2008 15:09:08 GMT 1, BONGO DOESNT KNOW SPECIFICS AND WOULD NOT ENTER INTO SUCH A DISCUSSION CONSIDERING POTENTIAL LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS
BONGO HOWEVER IS MORE THAN AWARE THAT UNLESS ITEM IS SIGNIFICANTLY NOT AS DESCRIBED BY THE AUCTION HOUSE, THEN WINNER IS OBLIGED TO PAY
FURTHER, IF BONGO PLACED A BME AT BONHAMS AND IT REALUISED A GROSS THAT WAS TRIPLE THE USUAL MARKET RATE, BONGO WOULD BE LESS THAN IMPRESSED IF BONHAMS DECIDED NOT TO PURSUE SALE.
BONGO DOES NOT LIVE NEAR A ZILLI RESTURTANT, BUT BONGO SMELL FISH

Banksy Bomb Middle England Print • 2003 , by BONGO on May 1, 2008 14:48:24 GMT 1, BONGO THINKS YOU SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED THAT A LEADING AUCTION HOUSE IS PREPARED TO BEND ITS RULES FOR WHAT ARE PROBABALY LONG STANDING CLIENTS OF HIGH NET WORTH
AUCTION HOUSES ARE NOT THE TOTEM OF PRICE TRANSPARENCY THEY LIKE TO THINK THEY ARE AND HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF PRACTICES THAT ARE NOT IN THE SPIRIT OF AN OPEN AND FAIR MARKET ( EVEN BONGO KNOWS THIS TERM IS AN ANACHRONISM )
BONGO WOULD SUGGEST THAT HAD FINAL BIDDER BEEN A NEWLY REGISTERED UPSTART, THEN HIS PLEAS OF CONFUSION WOULD HAVE CUT LITTLE ICE WITH BONHAMS AND LEGAL ACTION WOULD HAVE SWIFTLY FOLLOWED NON PAYMENT
THE GALLERIES AND HOUSES ARE THERE FOR MANY REASONS, NONE OF WHICH ARE UNTAINTED BY THE FOUL STENCH OF FINANCIAL SELF INTEREST AND SUPPORTING THE INCESTOUS CARTEL THAT IS THE SELF PROCLAIMED FINE ART INDUSTRY

15 MINUTES OF LIVING DEAD INFAMY, by BONGO on Apr 30, 2008 17:03:06 GMT 1, BONGO THINK THIS MAY BE OF USE. BONGO KNOWS IT IS GENUINE
"Hello everyone. Here's an appeal.
Ever fancied being a zombie? You have? Good. Because this is a once-in-a-deathtime chance to be part of a terrifying undead army of the damned.
We need volunteer zombies willing to appear in Dead Set, a horror thriller type thing I’ve written for E4 / C4. It will doubtless be the finest TV programme ever made: one you’ll tell your children about for hours until they beg you to shut up. And you can get involved.
On either Thursday 8th or Friday 9th May we’re shooting some unpleasantry involving a horde of undead bastards swarming around trying to eat people. I’ll be there in person myself, mingling in amongst the crowd. I won’t need much make-up. If the cameras aren't rolling, feel free to say hello and annoy me.
Does this sound like the sort of thing you’d like to take part in? And are you available on at least one of those dates? Hooray. Let’s have your details. But first, a few pointers, which should help sort the rotten wheat from the decomposing chaff:
1. Please don’t volunteer unless you’re prepared to ‘go the distance’, as some t**t off The Apprentice might say. We’ll be shooting from late afternoon until the wee small hours of the morning. There will be moments where you get bored (something real zombies never do, of course). We need people who won’t slope off somewhere. Committed zombies only please.
2. Wear your s**ttest clothes. By which I mean items you don’t mind getting fake blood and dirt on. They may get ruined. But hey – you’ll have a nice souvenir. Also, try not to wear bright colours. Our zombies have been standing around outside for several days. London Fashion Week this is not. Ooh, and these are ‘modern’ running zombies, so don’t wear high heels or anything daft like that.
3. Please don’t plaster yourself with your own fake blood or make-up. These aren't 'funny' zombies. We’ll either take care of it for you or position you at a distance where it won’t matter. If you own your own pair of white iris contact lenses and you’re happy to wear them, that’s great – you may even get a whopping great close-up – but if you don’t, don’t take risks with your own eyes.
4. Remember what I said about wearing s**tty clothes? Make sure you’ve got a nice layer on underneath. It may get cold out there.
5. You have to be at least 18 years of age and in good health.
6. We will arrange transport to and from the location, which is in the middle of pissing nowhere. We’ll set up a meeting point in London and take you from there by bus.
Interested in being a zombie? Then email zombies@zeppotron.com with your name, age and contact details (phone, email, address). Put 'ZOMBIE' in the subject heading. We will contact you with further information (where, when, how, etc) as the time nears. Feel free to pass this information on to friends, but make sure they read and digest all the pointers above.
Happy deading, Charlie Brooker"

Banksy & Ken Livingstone, by BONGO on Apr 24, 2008 11:11:34 GMT 1, BONGO THINKS YOU MAKE MANY ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT BONGOS BACKGROUND, EDUCATION AND MOTIVATION
BONGO TRIES NOT TO FALL INTO BOX OF RIGID POLITICAL ORTHODOXY AND PARTY FETISH DOGMATISM, BUT BONGO TRIES TO VIEW MATTERS IN AN OBJECTIVE FASHION, ALBEIT SOMETIMES WITH INCENDIARY LANGUAGE TO PROVOKE RESPONSE AND CREATE DISCUSSION
BONGO PURELY REMARK THAT A WORRYINGLY SMALL RANGE OF INSTITUTIONS PRODUCE THE VAST MAJORITY OF POLITICAL LEADERS IN THE UK
