Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by barryh on Mar 3, 2017 18:00:58 GMT 1, Are people gonna start flipping nights in the hotel now??
Not unless they are dumb, you're booking a specific room on a specific date... not one of 500 prints.

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by A.R.T. on Mar 3, 2017 18:01:52 GMT 1, I'm not sure I'm a huge fan on these large 'installations' banksy resorts to now. Kind of looses the concept of what made him great.
I disagree. Every artist has to grow and this just shows that Banksy is constantly raising the bar with his growth.

We all have different notions of what "great" mean...just look at Trump and MAGA.

Personally, I think this type of installation that sets in motion a business (that's hopefully permanent) that hires locals and helps rebuild the local economy is a humongous undertaking and does so much more than present provocative work. It helps drive tourism in an ironic way, and is attempting to quell stigma in one of he most stigmatized places on Earth. IMO, these ideas and investments are what make Banksy great.

I don't know.
The amount of money and effort that goes into this type of project is obsecene. That money and effort could be used for a lot more if you want to make a difference.
This doesn't even call in to question the money this will bring in. Where's it go?
Banksy could 'grow' without becoming the spectacle he is now. Banksy isn't banksy anymore when all he does is these huge installations

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by Cornish Crayon on Mar 3, 2017 18:18:31 GMT 1, The first guest will walk out of there wearing ALL the dressing gowns. maybe harder than you think... Our security The hotel contains valuable works of art, some of which you are permitted to lock yourself alone with overnight. As a consequence, a $1000 deposit will be taken on a credit / debit card at check in. All rooms will be inspected prior to departure, so please allow at least 15 minutes for check-out. The artwork here has been donated to the community and their struggle & any person found attempting to steal from them, or deface hotel property, will be arrested, transported to the police station in Ramallah and prosecuted to the full extent of local law.
Good, will be interesting, as I believe someone will try, even if they get themselves in the limelight and do some bird in the Middle East, wake up call to anybody without a brain.

Yes that makes sense. I get that. But is this really going to do that?
It could be argued that could be done by painting some nice thoughtful images on walls.

Banksy sure didn't start off as what he does now.
Banksy is a conglomerate now.
Bigger, richer, larger than life isn't always better. Especially when so much of your identity and success was the complete opposite.

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by Cornish Crayon on Mar 3, 2017 18:25:29 GMT 1, Banksy dismissed worries that security concerns would keep people away, pointing out that he had packed out a “bemusement park” in an unglamorous seaside town for weeks.
“My accountant was worried some people will be too scared to travel to the West Bank, but then I remind him – for my last show they spent a whole day in Weston-super-Mare.”
 lol 😂 😂😂

I don't think this cost what you think it cost. Looks to me like he renovated an existing hotel with roughly the same budget as a high school musical. The only thing of value is the art and all that took was time and creativity.
The money it generates will go into the local economy, providing jobs for hotel employees and revenue for local cafes, taxi drivers, etc. It's a major tourist attraction in a city that relies heavily on tourism.
Also, I don't know this, but suspect a large portion of the revenue generated through the hotel will go into Palestinian aid organizations. This will have a far bigger impact economically than simply writing a check. And then there's the impact it will have on awareness and opinion of the Israeli occupation, which is the bigger point being made.
This isn't about Banksy stroking his ego. It's him using his fame and art to make life better for those who have it the worst.

It could be argued that could be done by painting some nice thoughtful images on walls. That would definitely still drive tourism, but providing people in the Bethlehem community with opportunity and economic growth by creating a brick and mortar business is commendable and important. Providing tourists who otherwise would not want to stay overnight in Palestine with a "comfortable" and "cool" place to stay will also hopefully help redirect the hearts and minds of a lot of people. I can almost certainly bet that nearly all people who went into Bethlehem or Gaza to visit walls painted by Banksy slept in Israel and and only spent a few hours on the other side of the wall. This business will force people to engage and interact in the community more. At least that's my hope. |

I'm not an artist but I think all artists want to change up the way they present their work using different mediums over time. I think they constantly test themselves to see what works, what has a bigger impact on the message they are trying to get across. In this example you will not only be seeing his work but living in it, and it may have a bigger impact on yourself as a result when you are there on site seeing straight-on what you have seen on the news over the years.

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by Rouen Cathedral on Mar 3, 2017 18:36:25 GMT 1, The success will really depend on the boost to tourism as many state. Hypothetically this sounds great.
How much will these rooms cost? I'm assuming it won't be cheap.
So it could become art for the elite to go visit who will ignore the surrounding area and surrounding problems.
For everyone else it will be a series of pictures no more successful (arguably less successful) then the balloon girl across the street.

I'd assume this will raise more money than it cost to put on... plus the extra awareness factor will create more publicity than purely funding local projects.
Obviously we don't know where the money raised will go exactly, but I assume they know what they're doing after being in the area for so many years.

I'm not sure an exact breakdown of what charities will receive what is the main priority... but looking at it I find it hard to believe the profit will all be going in Banksy's pocket.
It's probably not as straightforward as holding a charity event here to raise money for a local charity... They probably need to be careful not to be seen to give to the "wrong" people, as there's so many divided opinions there.

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by Deleted on Mar 3, 2017 18:50:30 GMT 1, In case it's not been pointed out and anyone official reads this, the Palestinian Marathon website appears to be an event that isn't actually happening. Also the book launch has a date (Saturday 26 March) that doesn't exist either; at least not in 2017.

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by bonesy on Mar 3, 2017 18:54:48 GMT 1, Interesting question. How would you define Banksy and what does he need to keep doing to stay on track with your definition of Banksy? Banksy sure didn't start off as what he does now. Banksy is a conglomerate now. Bigger, richer, larger than life isn't always better. Especially when so much of your identity and success was the complete opposite. He has newe means to bring attention to issues in creative ways. Back in the day he used the means he had and he is doing the same now. You say this stuff as if he's sitting on a throne and doing this to stroke his ego, I don't come away with that at all..... Haters gonna hate.

Banksy - The Walled Off Hotel ★★★, by Aza on Mar 3, 2017 18:55:21 GMT 1, Are people gonna start flipping nights in the hotel now?? Not unless they are dumb, you're booking a specific room on a specific date... not one of 500 prints.
I am sure there will be more people making the trip than the number of rooms available.
No room at the inn sounds familiar.

Well there are probably far fewer than 500 rooms there. I am sure there will be more people making the trip than the number of rooms available. No room at the inn sounds familiar. |

Also the book launch has a date (Saturday 26 March) that doesn't exist either; at least not in 2017.
Book launch (Whatever that may be) could just be a typo. Maybe they meant Sat 25th or Sun 26th ?
