Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by jellya on Dec 3, 2007 12:37:20 GMT 1, Wow! An absolute masterstroke and a complete suprise. I hope this does loads for raising awareness.. actually I think it has already.
I can't wait to hear from those on here who are going to make the trip... there will be some definitely. They will be rewarded with far more than a handful of prints in terms of the sheer experience.
Well done POW!

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by ABC on Dec 3, 2007 12:39:59 GMT 1, I couldn't even go if I wanted, not the place you visit if your in the Military .
As said, this is genius, It just proves a point that POW are about making statements more than making money. The logistics of getting set up out there must be a complete pain, exciting stuff though. Walking the streets with Tubes may also be a little bit of a problem and wish the buyers luck. Top tip, dont paint the tubes green.

Instead they stick it in Bethlehem and give us all something to think about!
good work all round.

Advice: if you have the time and money use this as an excuse to get out there, you wont be disappointed.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by alsbabar on Dec 3, 2007 12:58:00 GMT 1, How ironic would it be that all the prints are bought dirt cheap by the locals in Bethlehem and are flipped on ebay for a hefty profit!!!

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by rolyateel on Dec 3, 2007 14:14:44 GMT 1, Whilst I applaud PoW for this, I'm not sure the shop needs to be in Bethlehem, or that anyone needs to travel there for the issue to be highlighted. The fact that some infamous artists have hit the wall again with some though provoking art should be enough - that & the fact that profits are being donated to charities in the region.
The region is on the news regularly enough, and anyone who hasn't already realised how piss-poor the situation is over there must be blind / deaf / retarded. As long as our government & the US government stand by & do nothing whilst Israel treats the Palestinians like shit, the situation will remain.
Not sure how the West Bank differs from the Gaza Strip (other then the fact that Hamas governs Gaza & not the West Bank), but I personally wouldn't want to travel there.
I went there in 1980 on a school trip, and was luck enough to visit Jerusalem & Bethlehem, and even though I was young, I remember it being slightly scary even then, & things have deteriorated horribly since then.

Seems that SG in Bethlehem will be an auction....
"All pieces at the exhibition will be sold to the highest bidder and the proceeds donated to local charities."
This is my mate lainey a few years ago ...

Note the second to last paragraph.

same as... i only hope that what you are going for (Banksy) is actually on sale.
In the past the releases were staggered through out the month.
Maybe with people travelling so far they will be selling everything through out the month but .... that may not be the case and people could be disappointed.
I hope not as its a lot of money to spend just getting there.

So basically you can only bid on any of the original items if you actually go there, then at the end of the show they go to whoever the winner is.

Are you talking about the prints? they will all be online - there wont be any over there available to buy.
Guess I was wrong there are 2 editions!
