Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by kel on Sept 9, 2017 10:28:42 GMT 1, What would of and probably should have been the way this merchandise was released is make it only available to guests of the hotel. As there is 8 rooms they could have released an edition of 500 and that would have covered just over 2 months of bookings. There is plenty of availability for rooms and at the end of the day the hotel will only survive if they fill the bookings up.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Cookiemonster on Sept 9, 2017 10:30:22 GMT 1, And like the other Banksy releases they are there to make a quick profit. If they want to take the risk that's one thing but to get nasty with the staff shows the types of people they are. It's gift shop souvenirs that are open editions (apparently) - people need to stop and think for a moment - it's insane. It shouldn't matter about the edition size, they should just get the chance to buy what they were told is available. If they missed out then tough luck...it's part of the game, but they haven't been on sale when they were told they are available now. It's always the same jealousy with Banksy prints. There has been no indication that anything is in the shops NOW. So if people jumped the gun without collecting information and decided to turn up before the items are available, then that is on them.

Those people talked about POW staff like shit and it was ok for them.
I'm sorry, I just don't get it! It's just the same as Santas ghetto, people only went there go get something and that was fine, now they are c@$ts!

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by chainsaw on Sept 9, 2017 10:45:37 GMT 1, OK this might be a weird question.
The keyfobs.... are they cast in Palestine? and hand decorated by local Palestinian artists?
I think I saw someone say they would be available next week.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by case on Sept 9, 2017 10:49:53 GMT 1, In the hotel now listening to people get pissy with the staff, have some class people... youv travelled to a war zone for art. Never seen anything like this before, the vibe is reals**tty No surprises there Carl, too many people in it for one (wrong) reason. Really no surprise. The way this is handled must be absolutely horrible for the staff there and I have no clue why it is done this way. Just for a joke on flippers and the art market? There has to be a better way.

The staff there are wonderful. Have a falafel you t**tS! As far as I read the staff there is very nice and seems not to be responsible for the way this is handled - but they are the ones who have to deal with the riot caused by it. That`s what I was trying to say. English is not my native language so please excuse if I didn`t get it right. This is also the reason why I do not know what your last word should mean but I assume it is something very nice. Now off to my falafel.

I hope that Banksy is taping the shananigans for his next documentary on the art world.

The keyfobs.... are they cast in Palestine? and hand decorated by local Palestinian artists? I think I saw someone say they would be available next week. If that's the case, all this unseemliness could have avoided by the online shop stating "coming soon in store" rather than than it currently stating "available in store". It's a pretty major difference and one that they would know will lead to lots of people heading over to try and buy something.
Let's not forget that if one of those crucifixes goes the way of a watchtower sculpture someone has bought an item very cheaply that could be worth more than a year's average wage. That's not greed trying to buy it, it's just common sense. If Banksy, a multi millionaire artist chooses to sell his notoriously rare work in an unusual place people will still go. Particularly as we've relentlessly been told how safe and welcoming Palestine is. That said there's no excuse for rudeness and bad behaviour particularly when in a foreign country.

That for me would me art with a real message. Maybe that image will b his long awaited print release. Ironically those folks depicted in the print will be scrambling for it when its released
It would be genius if b released a print of that. It would be irony in double whammy.

If they are made and decorated there the maximum cash goes into the local economy.
If they are available now I was going to beg one

Or he could of signed them all and sold them to the locals so they could then flip them to better their lives?

Looks like it.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone really consider the wall sections an "original Banksy sculpture"? It says they're painted by local artists, so I'm not sure I'd consider an original Banksy. The crucifix/grappling hook could probably be considered as such, but I think that's probably it.

He could've bought one from a member of staff or something if they've been sent samples prior to the main delivery.

I don't consider them a banksy, just a nice souvenir.
Which is why I was hoping the resin wall bits were cast there too, more money for the local economy. "concept by Banksy" maybe.
