Santa's Ghetto 2006, by numusic on Oct 24, 2006 23:08:52 GMT 1, Who squashed the NYC rumour? alot of talk has been posted around the internet about it being in New York .. . Take it seriously, J
They couldn't find a suitable venue, so looks like it's back in the UK, no sign of which city just yet, but not in the US that's for sure

Santa's Ghetto 2006, by burtyhoover on Nov 29, 2006 23:44:05 GMT 1, Is there any possibility that all current suggested venues could be scrapped and it be in the Faithful City of Worcester? There is a charming Victorian Fayre being held this weekend, and who knows there may be a stall spare there? Please...have you ever been to Worcester, we need the excitement! Sorry, I'm new by the way, incase you couldn't tell!

That was something that he was working on between gummo and Donkey Boy, nothing to do wih David Twatface Blaine, basically he went round trying to pick a fight with random people on the street, he got battered by a couple of doormen but most people didnt react, i dont know why he stopped making it, (hospital for a week or people not getting into beating the shit out of him) there was some footage around for a lttle while, i will see if i can track it down and post the link.
one thing s for sure though he is a mental !

Season's greetings from Banksy and friends
· 20 underground artists set up shop on Oxford Street
· 'Affordable' works at Santa's Ghetto
Mark Brown, arts correspondent
Friday December 1, 2006
The Guardian
Michael Jackson as the Wicked Witch in a work by the underground artist Banksy which appears in his temporary gallery, Santa's Ghetto. Photograph: David Levene
It used to be a Clarks shoeshop, though the stabbed teddy bear with a kitchen knife still dangling from its stomach in the window should give away its change of occupancy. Inside, the only shoes you will find are on the feet of bodies which look real but are models. One appears to have put his head through a wall.
This is Santa's Ghetto, a gallery and amusement arcade founded by the elusive graffiti artist Banksy, which opens for 23 days in London's West End to show art as well as selling affordable works.
"I felt the spirit of Christmas was being lost," said Banksy (real name possibly Robin Banks or Robert Banks, or possibly neither). "It was becoming increasingly uncommercialised and more and more to do with religion so we decided to open our own shop and sell pointless stuff you didn't need."
Inside is an entertaining mixed bag of work from about 20 underground artists which might make battling the Oxford Street throngs a touch more bearable, although following the instructions on one of Ben Turnbull's Break In The Case Of Emergency boxes may not be advisable. A handgun is inside.
Banksy's work is spottable. In one big painting depicting the wicked witch and Hansel and Gretel, the witch has been replaced by singer Michael Jackson trying to entice the children with a candy walking stick.
Rather ostentatiously, there are two Mona Lisas. One has Marge Simpson's towered blue hair and the other is showing her backside. Other works have a Hello Kitty influence, although if you look long enough you will notice the sweet girl holding the kitten is also holding a hand grenade.
Kelsey Brookes is described by the gallery as a west coast surfer and panda painter and in real life he does indeed have the blond, blue-eyed, tanned look of someone about to run into the warm Pacific. "I was involved last year and it's something you look forward to," said Brookes, over from San Diego for two weeks. "It seems like a gallery that's done by the artists, there's not a heavy galleryist's hand here."
The aim is to be affordable and it's possible to buy screen prints from £35 up to £500. Or you could spend a lot more. One work already sold is Emma Heron's vend-a-limb machine, which has a black child with his leg blown off looking longingly inside.
Why not have a go at throwing hoops at religious iconography? If you get all three, including one over a rotating Virgin Mary, you will win a Gorillaz cuddly toy.
The religious theme continues in a darkened TV room where you can sit on a dirty sofa and watch video art, such as two doodled men on a cross discussing the "son of whatshisname."
The Santa's Ghetto "squat art concept store" began five years ago and has been in various locations around London, though this is the first time it has alighted on Oxford Street, right next door to Tottenham Court Road tube station.
Banksy himself goes from strength to strength and you would have to be particularly well-heeled to call his work affordable these days. Earlier this year it was revealed that Christina Aguilera had paid £25,000 for three of his works, including a pornographic picture of Queen Victoria in a lesbian pose with a prostitute.

Christmas greetings from Banksy
By Tom Teodorczuk, Evening Standard 01.12.06
Look here too
Gang foiled in bid to steal graffiti art
Book tickets for exhibitions
Santa rechristened as Satan, holding a placard stating: "It's cancelled" and a Michael Jackson lookalike in a reworked drawing of Hansel and Gretel...
It can only be guerrilla artist Banksy's Santa's Ghetto, an art gallery opening in Oxford Street today.
The gallery showcases a wide range of controversial art including a mocked-up photo of Tony Blair taking pictures on his mobile phone of an explosion in a Middle Eastern desert.
Visible from the pavement, Downing Street is expected to request that the image, designed to protest against the war in Iraq, be taken down.
It is by Peter Kennard, one of Mayor Ken Livingstone's favourite artists, who was appointed to stage an anti-war exhibition at City Hall in 2004. Banksy is exhibiting four works, all of which were snapped up within 10 minutes of going on sale.
One features a man resembling Michael Jackson offering candy to a small boy and girl in a variant on the Brothers Grimm's Hansel and Gretel tale.
The portrait was sold yesterday to an unknown buyer for a sum believed to be £100,000. Ten works have already been sold at the gallery which aims to sell affordable art to the public.
Other artworks include two portraits of Mona Lisa by Nick Walker, in which Leonardo Da Vinci's iconic subject is mocked up as Marge Simpson and with her rear exposed, and Emma Heron's "vendalimb" machine which has a black child with a leg blown off gazing into it.
Also up for sale is a Tube map in which every station is named Error, a teddy bear stabbed with a kitchen knife and a picture of Saddam Hussein in an American military uniform.
Santa's Ghetto will stay open for 23 days and it is the fifth year of Banksy's concept store.
He said through his spokeswoman: "I felt the spirit of Christmas was being lost - it was being increasingly uncommercialised and more and more to do with religion. So we decided to open our own shop and sell pointless stuff you didn't need."
Steve Lazarides, gallery owner and friend of Banksy, said: "I think this is the best Santa's Ghetto so far. It's in Oxford Street, highly political, and there's loads of cheap art to buy. What more could you want?"

I highly question his definition of 'cheap'.
