Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by finsburyparkranger on Oct 11, 2007 12:50:12 GMT 1, They can say what time and what city, just keep the exact location a secret untill an hour or two before doors open. when people turn up then give out golden tickets to the first 1000 people that show ID and record their names next to the ticket number and then let everyone go home and come back and pay anytime that week or later on in the day. Simple.
Better for security reasons too, no huge queue of people with lots of cash in their pocket.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by fecam on Oct 11, 2007 13:58:45 GMT 1, POW is a money making machine - they'd be crazy not to do another one. They made a killing last year and could easily double it this year. They also get a chance to get rid of some of the crappy prints that they have sitting in stock (Stanley Donwood, Invader, Zeus, Bast, Zbiok, Modern Toss etc).
As for London - why not? So what if a few prints get into the wrong hands...

Agreed. Although I wouldn't describe all of those prints as crappy.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by ABC on Oct 11, 2007 17:39:48 GMT 1, POW will never let on to a SG07 yet, last year they didn't stop rumors about it being in NY, they just kept quite and let everybody speculate, like whats going to happen again, on here.
If they do, I'd say it will be in London as It would be far to much of a Logistical nightmare for them to arrange abroad. At the end of the day they are not a gallery so why bother

I was chatting about the Dolk 'che' image with my aunt and she said that the new theory is that Castro killed Che and that if so its all very sad. Not sure where she heard it but she's a massive bookworm and heads up an international education charity and quite left wing so she's not one for just making s**t like that up. However obviously if its not true there are enough powerful republicans that would like to spread rumours like that, so take it with a pinch of salt. I'll ask her when i see her next.

Santa's ghetto is an event that has been held annually for the last 4-5 years at least. Around December a shop will get rented for a month and is usually made out to look like a squat, although its full of art at the same time. Often the sentiment is taking the piss out of the consumer chaos that is xmas, the irony being that it becomes apart of the consumer chaos because great art is sold inside. Its run by pow people and pow artists adorn the walls. Its done very well and its quite refreshing to walk into a shop that is so so so removed from anything else you might experience at Christmas time in central London. Last year they said it would be the last one, so people are unsure if there will be one this year. I hope there is. Its a great tradition.

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by m@san on Oct 11, 2007 19:14:19 GMT 1, I think a lot of fun will be had this year ... I've been talking to a couple of people and we thought it'd be fun to make some 'Santas Ghetto' banners and go out on November 30th and hang them on every empty shopfront in central London just to watch the mayhem ensue!!
