Banksy takes to streets to highlight Aids crisis
By Arifa Akbar
Published: 16 May 2006
The "guerrilla" graffiti artist Banksy has spray-painted a striking, large-scale image entitled Sweeping It Under The Carpet on a wall in Chalk Farm, north London.
Commissioned by The Independent, the workcan be seen as a metaphor for the West's reluctance to tackle issues such as Aids in Africa.
Banksysaid yesterday that the commissioned piece was also about the democratisation of subjects in works of art.
"In the bad old days, it was only popes and princes who had the money to pay for their portraits to be painted," he said.
"This is a portrait of a maid called Leanne who cleaned my room in a Los Angeles motel. She was quite a feisty lady."
Banksy's work is now showing as part of an exhibition about the Palestinian conflict called Occupied Space, this week at Gallery 27, Cork Street, London. His creations will feature alongside around 55 other artists, including Jake and Dinos Chapman, Antony Gormley and Maggi Hambling.

Charities praise RED edition of 'Independent'
By Maxine Frith, Social Affairs Correspondent
Published: 17 May 2006
The RED edition of The Independent has won praise from charities for highlighting the issues facing some of the world's poorest countries.
Within hours of going on sale yesterday, copies of the newspaper, guest edited by Bono of the rock band U2, had become collectors' items. One edition was bought for ยฃ9.90 on eBay and newsagents reported that copies had sold out.
Charities welcomed the fact that half of the revenues from the newspaper were going to help fight HIV and Aids among women and children in Africa.
But they also praised Bono's decision to raise awareness of the epidemic that is blighting a continent and successive generations of its people.
Deborah Jack, the chief executive of the National Aids Trust, said: "For us, it was a really important edition because it tackled the issue in a new and fresh way. "Deaths from Aids do not make the papers because people have got to used to them happening, and yet this is the most serious infection facing not just Africa but also countries like the UK, where rates of HIV are continuing to rise."
She added: "We need to keep the pressure on politicians to fulfil their high-level commitments and look at new ways of tackling the epidemic.
"In some countries there are so many people infected and so many people dying and yet they are still not using condoms. Things like vaccines and microbicides are on the horizon and we need to invest in those," she said.
"Putting the issue on the front page of The Independent will also help to tackle the stigma and discrimination that faces people who have HIV/Aids."
Richard Miller, the UK director of the development charity ActionAid, said: "Congratulations to The Independent for putting HIV in Africa on the front page and focusing an edition on aid, debt and trade.
"We did fear that the media - whose headlines last year helped spur politicians to make key pledges - would soon forget those issues or feel that they had been 'done'.''
He added: "The decision of the guest editor, Bono, to splash the demands of the Make Poverty History campaign on The Independent's pages keeps our politicians on notice that they must deliver.
"It is also a stinging critique of a media agenda that ignores a daily toll of 6,500 preventable deaths."
Clarification
In yesterday's edition of the paper, we reported that the street painting featured by Banksy was commissioned by The Independent newspaper. A spokesman for the artist said: "Banksy does not do graffiti commissions for national newspapers and is unlikely to start at any point in the near future."

Banksy highlights Aids crisis, by crack on May 17, 2006 12:51:13 GMT 1, Have been and theres some good stuff in there though not graf/stencils. Banksy has 6 digital photos of his time in Palestine. Set of 16 with 15 of each phot. All 6 are 1/15 and have been sold (ยฃ2500 each.) They're embossed with the 'Heavy Weaponry' tag and signed/numbered.

sorry ... just to be clear it was what? 15 sets of 6 photos per set? ยฃ2500 each.
This is mad. I do like quite a few of Banksy's ideas / work but ยฃ2500 for some digi photos is ludicrous.
I sell my hand printed ones for ยฃ6 each. I know which photographer I'd prefer to be

Banksy highlights Aids crisis, by mido on May 17, 2006 17:14:33 GMT 1, ยฃ2500 each!!!! even worse.
If I was desperate to see I could go to London but can't be bothered to be honest. ยฃ2500 is hardly art for the masses is it! Or is it for charity??
I'm going to do some more Eine shutters on Sunday morning, but the showing closes on Saturday I think.

Banksy highlights Aids crisis, by mido on May 17, 2006 18:00:24 GMT 1, I had said on the other forum that one day I would do a guided walk (probably shoreditch / hackney / brick lane as one, and south bank on another day). Maybe I should organise and add to both sites? We can all have a big group hug?? ;D

I'd be up for that - might be worth putting a couple of dates forward... Let me know if you need a hand.

Banksy highlights Aids crisis, by mido on May 20, 2006 21:14:32 GMT 1, god I'm beginning to get very frightened now!
and will I have to wear a purple wig or hold a freaking umbrella in the air!? <[:-<
too busy to think too much at the moment, but will definately make a date soon-ish, for a sunday lunch timish, meet maybe around old street area (not shoreditch tube! too busy on sunday). Hackney / Hoxton / Shoreditch should be do-able in an afternoon.... walking.....
Will do it more than once hopefully / different areas on different days so if anyone can't make it there might be another opportunity.

Banksy highlights Aids crisis, by HowAboutNo on May 22, 2006 11:13:42 GMT 1, I'm definitely up for a jaunt around some Banksy's, hopefully get the ones that are missing from my fast growing collection. So many of the Shoreditch ones are buffed quickly (but am also dubious about which ones are real and which ones are people buying stencils from Ebay - how annoying!)
Keep me posted!
Here's the pic of the "Sweeping it under the carpet" I took last week.

The image on the left shows the white cube version in Hoxton and the image on the right shows the Chalk Farm version with the painted(?) additions....

For me this one is defo better on the Hoxton wall.
