BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by ABC on Aug 26, 2015 21:53:40 GMT 1, Ok, I can't be there, but from the photos I have seen I'm not that impressed with Dismaland. Of course you might say the whole point is to be disappointed but I feel it looks a bit like a wasted opportunity for what could have been a really special Art event, thinking back to the Cans Tunnel and Bristol Museum shows. Seeing the images and news reports on TV made it look a bit less like a real art event and more like some kind of "Grumpy Old Men" theme park. I think it's edged into being more a political "Grumpy Old Men" than what could be seen as a Art event. Sorry, just my opinion. Honestly, it's brilliant. There have been few photos of the galleries, which are fabulous. Then there are the different tents, vans, libraries etc which again are great. The attractions/games are a tiny part of it. It would have been worth the trip just to see the Cauty model village. I could go on and on. It's far better than any art show I've ever been to before. As has been said by others, photos tell only a tiny fraction of what it's like to be there. I've put some photos of the gallery on the spoiler thread.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by leecd on Aug 26, 2015 22:52:46 GMT 1, Really excited to see they have added a Schools tab to the Dismaland website. I'm going to try my best to take a group of 20 Chd I take for grafitti club after school. Just need to get the nod from the Head and parents as they are aged 7-10 but I know they would love it.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by shavenhobo on Aug 26, 2015 23:02:03 GMT 1, Just got back. Was an awesome show but take lots of cash as I had to step out and quick match up the prom to get some. Was a lovely day, sunny and WSM seems like a nice place. Work wise there are some really strong pieces and some filler. Thought the side shows would be more fun but the atmosphere is really exciting. Loved the music and Jenny Holzer sound piece. They had run out of balloons when I went and the spanner set. Riot shields were £600 and they look frickin awesome, no decent prints left from what I could see atm. Worth going to, not mind blowing but strangely fun with some great pieces. Immigration tent was hard hitting.
Also not that I entertain flipping they didn't check my ID which I was pretty annoyed about but all security seemed really nice.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Hubble Bubble on Aug 26, 2015 23:19:12 GMT 1, I'm just back from tonight's show (well, staying over in WSM actually). Went with my eldest (Uni age) daughter Who was in awe of the whole thing.
My thoughts -- AMAZING... a true visionary at work, supported by incredibly powerful lieutenants.
Sell a kidney if you have to but, whatever you do, get a ticket.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Coach on Aug 26, 2015 23:40:05 GMT 1, I agree and have done the same with both of mine. Even though been told off by security a few times! They should really encourage children to watch and take part of art. In many ways. It would be amazing if Dismaland had a 'kids day only' entrance for adult o n l y, if they have at least five kids with them. Or only open for schools. Oh happy days.
You suggested it, and now it has happened!!

And it wud make my year if the school packs they hand out to the kids had a personal memento signed by Banksy. Not even the most greedy tw*t would want to offer money for one or admit they'd bought one.

The ice cream truck they are selling programmes from is the same one from Banksy vs Bristol Museum, minus the ice cream cone on top #uselessfactoftheday It was also used to sell popcorn at the tunnel screenings of his movie. And that he used to take to Glastonbury.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Lroy on Aug 27, 2015 6:43:30 GMT 1, Like Coach said, the photos just don't do the work justice. The Cinderella piece for example, the still images are nowhere near as impressive or disturbing as it is "in person".
And yeah, I thought I knew what to expect with the Cauty diorama, but wow, It's just huge and amazing. You could spend an hour looking at just that.
I think the whole place was just brilliant. And it's such a clever way to get, not just the art anoraks in, but a lot of the general public and exposing them to ideas and themes that they might not usually want to think about.
Some might go away thinking it's just ripping off Disney, but hopefully some (a lot) will take more from it. It was great seeing kids asking their parents questions about the works. Some of the answers weren't great, but I commend Banksy and all the artists for coming up with a great way of getting these messages across to people. And you can have fun while you're there.
I had an absolute ball there. And if I die in the next few weeks, I'd like my corpse left on one of the rides at Dismaland.
I think ( like Plip ) that it's like concerts, horse races, football match, festivals, etc... It's when you are in that you see and feel really the " Thing " ... Sounds and vision ... Here , you are in Banksy's belly ! Wow !
edit : like to see per example Le Mont-Blanc in postcard and to be at his feet ( I did not say on your knees ;-)

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Schrödinger's Chat on Aug 27, 2015 7:56:04 GMT 1, Well that was a crazy day! Drove from Brighton to Weston and back yesterday, 360 mile round trip but it was worth every minute.
We were at Dismaland for about 2.5 hrs and it was brilliant, could have done with double the time to really enjoy everything, there were a whole bunch of short films showing that we didn't have time to watch but looked ace from what I did see.
Agree with others that it was so good to see all walks of life enjoying a really unique experience. I must have heard three or four people saying 'i don't get it' about some of the pieces but at least they were prepared to have a go, and hopefully left Dismaland a richer person as a result of their experience.
Would well recommend going, it's a great concept well executed, and is very experiential. As you become a part of the art installation itself, it really starts to play on your mind and I found that it sent my head whirring with questions and thoughts about the world we live in, and that my daughter's are growing up in. Good thoughts and really dismal ones!

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by barryh on Aug 27, 2015 8:59:25 GMT 1, Ok, I can't be there, but from the photos I have seen I'm not that impressed with Dismaland. Of course you might say the whole point is to be disappointed but I feel it looks a bit like a wasted opportunity for what could have been a really special Art event, thinking back to the Cans Tunnel and Bristol Museum shows. Seeing the images and news reports on TV made it look a bit less like a real art event and more like some kind of "Grumpy Old Men" theme park. I think it's edged into being more a political "Grumpy Old Men" than what could be seen as a Art event. Sorry, just my opinion.
How you can judge and immersive experience, from behind a keyboard I really don't know. Nearly everyone that attends, wants to go back for a 2nd or 3rd time. Luckily there seems to be a few people with your thought process, otherwise it would be even harder to get tickets

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Deleted on Aug 27, 2015 9:16:25 GMT 1, Has anyone gotten their hands on the Jeff Gillette poster? Loving the ones I've seen on eBay but being a poster never sure of authenticity. Just curious what the deal is or what to make of them. Jeff Gillette is the man! Jeff Gillette Mickey Hiroshima 2013 Edition of 30 14 x 9 Giclee How much were they
