Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by Rouen Cathedral on Mar 27, 2017 16:59:04 GMT 1, Haha Yeah who would have thought people would be afraid to discuss art. No one is scared of discussing anything... Maybe the issue is not with the forum members who don't want to discuss your opinion ? Maybe, hypothetically, the issue is with the poster who restate his one-line opinion over and over and over... Honestly mate, it is extremely tiring. Like being trapped at a party where they only play one song that no one happens to like. You are underwhelmed. We get it. End of
Funny thing is you see what you want. I don't think I mentioned being underwhelmed in the other thread. That was really only today. But if you want to claim that's all I've said then go ahead.

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by Cornish Crayon on Mar 27, 2017 18:03:21 GMT 1, @danielsilk Could you please define "well off" ? Thank you Some people can't afford to go abroad, traveling, holidaying in another country, some can afford to holiday abroad maybe once a year or every few years if they are lucky. To visit the Walled Off Hotel isn't what you would call a holiday  not exactly a place to take your children for a fun or relaxing break, so you would need to be pretty well off to be able to justify jumping on a plane to Palestine. If you don't agree, it's ok  we just come from different backgrounds and live surrounded by different people.
I don't agree and yes I'm ok, I think what you define as well off and what i define as well off are somewhat worlds apart,
Yes i have booked and am looking at going to the walled off hotel, do i class myself as well off........ no.
To me, well off is when you technically don't have to worry about money, i don't worry about money but i am very careful with it.
I don't keep up with the jones, i don't burn money on lavish items like branded clothes or handbags, gold or cars, i could have credit cards but i don't, i spend only money i have earnt, apart from our mortgage we are debt free, never buy on the never never, and eat sensibly and well. I always buy sale items whenever possible, if i can't i often leave it.
If we want to go to Palestine, i look at what the costs are and evaluate if its possible, yes it is going to cost money and i might need to watch things for a couple of weeks, not buying spontaneous bits, like not eating out (once every couple of weeks if we fancy it, sometimes not) the savings might get touched just for spending money but its a great experience and opportunity we would like to participate in.
We don't spend for the sake of spending.
Im not going to reveal our household income, but i can tell you this, i don't earn anywhere near some of the figures banded around on this forum, well below average household income.
can i ask you @danielsilk , do you think I'm well off ?

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by highflyer on Mar 27, 2017 19:12:32 GMT 1, As Karl Pilkington would say, "I found that being with happy positive people ....really really reaaaallllyyy annoys me.
...
so, I just sort of go along and say whatever I think - and that's all you can do in life, innit?"
Would say or did say?

How you judge "Well of" most likely depends on your own background and were you live. Many where I live don't have electricity, water supply, and their children roam the streets begging for food, and a really good wage is about £3 per day, so you and I would be classed as Rich. By forum standards we might be poor but world standards we are certainly well off or even rich!

There are richs who are richs, and poors who are poors...
I don't know any rich poor or poor rich ( unless he has won on betting , ahaha )..
Definition of rich is easy : to don't have some day to palpate your pockets or to return your cupboard to search an euro for the baguette, to live in a social location ( anyway I know some richs benefiting from the system ) , to have never took a plane, to don't have a car or driving licence, to only know the France or the close countries, to don't take holidays, etc etc...
Definition of poor is easy too : to bet or not to bet. If you have money to bet, you are rich, if you have no money to bet, you are really poor and there is not hope.
Everybody here should go one time in a racecourse : there the lords talk to the " beggars " and vice versa. There is no jealousy, for the winners, as for the loosers.
Money has no importance, reread Bukowski ( rip ) .
and fuck the hyppocrit chips !
My conclusion is : you don't have to be hung-up to be rich, nor to be poor. you, we, are all welcome on this earth !
sorry for my idiot french

I'm with you on this one.
Have been puzzled by this piece (mind you I haven't been so no first hand experience). I don't see the intention in a Basquiat lookalike piece, nor the connection with the hotel.
I get the crucifixion resonates with the area but that's about it

Many where I live don't have electricity, water supply, and their children roam the streets begging for food, and a really good wage is about £3 per day, so you and I would be classed as Rich. By forum standards we might be poor but world standards we are certainly well off or even rich!
Dan I do agree with some of what you say regarding backgrounds,
with that in mind and based on your knowledge of what you personally class as someone who is rich and someone who is poor I am really surprised at your flippant use of the words "well off"
Not sure if it was by accident, but you have a smiley face in your statement.
I don't agree and yes I'm ok, I think what you define as well off and what i define as well off are somewhat worlds apart, Yes i have booked and am looking at going to the walled off hotel, do i class myself as well off........ no. To me, well off is when you technically don't have to worry about money, i don't worry about money but i am very careful with it. I don't keep up with the jones, i don't burn money on lavish items like branded clothes or handbags, gold or cars, i could have credit cards but i don't, i spend only money i have earnt, apart from our mortgage we are debt free, never buy on the never never, and eat sensibly and well. I always buy sale items whenever possible, if i can't i often leave it. If we want to go to Palestine, i look at what the costs are and evaluate if its possible, yes it is going to cost money and i might need to watch things for a couple of weeks, not buying spontaneous bits, like not eating out (once every couple of weeks if we fancy it, sometimes not) the savings might get touched just for spending money but its a great experience and opportunity we would like to participate in. We don't spend for the sake of spending.

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by cyberkid on Mar 28, 2017 19:21:02 GMT 1, imo....not a fan from this banksy work because its from banksy. looks like jmb but is not jmb... I'm with you on this one. Have been puzzled by this piece (mind you I haven't been so no first hand experience). I don't see the intention in a Basquiat lookalike piece, nor the connection with the hotel. I get the crucifixion resonates with the area but that's about it
yeah. i was thinking about consumer jesus from 2004...

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by Happy Shopper on Mar 28, 2017 19:50:50 GMT 1, Is there a fancy hotel in New York or somewhere with Basquiat paintings?
Maybe it's simply taking this piss out of those super expensive hotels, with a fake painting?

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by Daniel Silk on Mar 29, 2017 2:04:09 GMT 1, What do you think will actually happen to the hotel over the next year, 5 years, 10 years?
Do you think it's still gonna be open this time next year, and if so how long do you think it can still draw enough interest to get guests?
If it did close, what will happen to the building and the art and the contents?
Could the building be converted in the future into another project by Banksy?

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by Daniel Silk on Mar 29, 2017 5:53:50 GMT 1, I should think Banksy was hoping the hotel would bring in people and expose them to the local art, but judging by the media response and posts here, I get the impression the Gallery is being overlooked

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by cmc on Mar 29, 2017 6:50:03 GMT 1, I like the painted donkeys.
After the Gaza Zoo's zebras died and they couldn't afford to replace them they painted two donkeys:
www.reuters.com/article/us-gaza-zebras-idUSTRE5973NV20091008
It also looks like the two people bending over on the left in the second row down of the first 6 images are releasing a big cloud of green smoke from their posterior.

not exactly a place to take your children for a fun or relaxing break, so you would need to be pretty well off to be able to justify jumping on a plane to Palestine.
we just come from different backgrounds and live surrounded by different people.
