Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Art Fan 2011 on Oct 2, 2013 18:53:14 GMT 1, It seems impossible Banksy will not get spotted during this "show" period - in a 24/7 city like New York which is so heavily populated and where everyone has a camera phone, CCTV is everywhere, and with the Banksy spotters will be out in force, I think we will all finally find out this month who he is for sure - and we will probably see him on Jay Leno show before too long

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by rioja on Oct 2, 2013 19:01:35 GMT 1, As speculated earlier, it would make sense for all or most of the pieces to have been done before it kicked off to avoid being spotted in the act. I wouldn't be surprised if this is genuine - and more pieces are 'outed' before their due date.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by DashingD on Oct 2, 2013 19:17:44 GMT 1, My thoughts are that he is not even putting up the works, but is rather unveiling them. I bet they were all done over the course of the last few weeks or so---behind scaffolding, behind wooden construction barriers, and etc.---and now those barriers, scaffolding, and/or other means of hiding his (and his team's efforts), are just being taken down in the early hours of the morning very unassumingly. Et voila, new Banksy.
Also, if this is the case (and maybe it isn't) there's nothing saying that the October BOTI show is restricted to NYC. Perhaps next week it'll be London or Paris etc.

Et voila, new Banksy. I too have often thought this, especially for ones in highly populated areas or with lots of pedestrians. It's amazing how little attention people pay to a couple of chaps in hi-viz putting up a tent/canopy/cover and then it coming down at a later date - most will have forgotten they ever saw anyone put it up.

I think Banksy painted this over himself. It said it in the audio tour recording "...its probably been painted over by now, if however you can still make it out..."

It's not real, and you're an idiot if you think it is. It's just someone trying to bathe in Banksy's reflected glory. Oh and whoever is behind the account just nicked my avatar, oi, go make your own!
It was set up after news of the project broke on here.

If that is your personal avatar (like mine is - a picture of my own), rather than an image freely available elsewhere on the internet, then that must mean, please correct me if I am wrong, that either it's a fake and the person who set it up is on here, or that Banksy reads this forum, something which has been pondered a few times over the years, but which I have no doubt is not the case.

Apart from the ripped avatar .. any other reasons why banksy wouldn't use twitter but prefer instagram...?? One more or less corperate than the other..? |

Good point, I guess 30 walls is quite a lot for one city? Would be a lot easier to avoid getting busted if its in different cities.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Warm Gun on Oct 2, 2013 20:20:57 GMT 1, It's all rather exciting this show malarkey. I was thinking about it for most of my working day and the first thing I done when I got in was check this thread. I feel like a school boy during the Christmas holidays. Madness. It's certainly renewed my passion for the blokes work. No other artists grabs my attention like this.... ....remember the Adam Neate street drop one WG?, that was a laugh.
Sadly I missed that one Wiz.

The link is on the official Banksy 'Better out than In' which takes you to the Instagram site, surely not just anyone can to that?
The Instagram site is 100% real.

Think about other artists in this scene and 9 times out of ten you know what's coming. Faile, Shep, Kaws, Lister.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by rioja on Oct 2, 2013 20:41:22 GMT 1, The instagram is genuine because the source is on the Banksy site. However the Twitter account is not linked to from the site so there's no guarantee it's real, but imo quite possibly be fake. It was set up incredibly quick after the official launch but there are some dedicated trolls out there.
