Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by speebe on Jun 6, 2007 22:43:00 GMT 1, I've been to four Ghetto Shows over the years and really prefer to buy my images that way, there's nothing like seeing them in the flesh to help you dig a little deeper in your pocket. I've even taken a group of students to the first show of the two held on Charing Cross Road and I for one would loathe the idea of not being able to make it, without students though.
Bristol is a good idea and despite living close to London, it's where I first became aware of Banksy's work in the late 90's so I for one would like the excuse to return.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by endtimes on Oct 11, 2007 2:21:14 GMT 1, Is it a sure thing that the Ghetto will be happening again in London Dec. 1st? I have 8 more vacation days to use up before the new year so thinking about popping over for a look-see...
But I heard rumours about a NYC ghetto awhile back ? anyone

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by jonpud on Oct 11, 2007 8:11:54 GMT 1, POW definitely stated that last years ghetto would be the last one (how long for I don't know!) They also stated in a phone call that they were considering having it in the States, NYC was mentioned but I think LA was also talked about.
Problem is the amount of BS that comes from the POW spin machine means you can't beleive anything you hear!!

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by pezlow on Oct 11, 2007 9:39:11 GMT 1, I think there will be a ghetto this year (I don't know anything that is just a hunch). It will only be a nightmare for print buying - apart from that I think the ghetto is great for seeing a wide range of originals by various artists.
Why not run one in New York and one in London with simultaneous print releases in both?

Nothing for sale, it's an art exhibition
Never gonna happen though

Was cool to go there last year and just see the art + prints in the flesh.
Maybe they could put up a load of prints that will be available after the show so you can get a look at them before choosing what to spend your hard-earned on..

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by jellya on Oct 11, 2007 11:05:14 GMT 1, Requested Bristol last year, and I'll do the same this year 
A bit of distance to travel might put off some of the baggers.
The sale of Flags last year in Bristol was the mosty civillised queue I've ever been in I think.

Put it in the Outer Hebrides and it won't put people off.
I think the main crux of the issue is the staff for the ghetto live in London, are they going to want to be in Bristol, Manchester, Newcastle, wherever for the weeks leading up to Christmas. I doubt it. London or nowhere I think...
It's a pisser as it'll mean, as usual most people outside London will miss out on a lot, but that's the way it goes...

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by mcnuts on Oct 11, 2007 11:13:11 GMT 1, the alternative, of course, is New York. Apparently this is what they wanted to do last year but they couldnt find a location. I'm sure the staff wouldnt mind that. Would just mean a new league of jet-setting carbon polluting flippers emerge.

The only big  ? is if there will be a banksy release at it. Last yr for flag we had a couple of days notice...if they do that again, its cool. If they did that again and it was in London, well you could take the recent line for micallef @laz and multiply it by about 20... would be nuts.
I reckon it will be stateside...

Whilst i'm on the subject, anyone hear about the theory the Che got assassinated by Castro because he became a threat?

Yes. The publicity would be huge. Imagine now if Banksy released an edition of 1000. The queue would be 1000+ people before the doors even opened.
They don't care about us getting beaten up under bridges.

Just prey that if they do it like that they don't tell anyone the location until one hour before doors are open. I really don't want to camp outside all night for no good reason.

Good idea but not too fair on people like me who live in Leeds and have no way of getting there in an hour... 
Unless they hold it out of London. Somewhere with poor bus routes so the Chav flipping mother fuckers can't get there!
