New Banksy?, by buffin on Aug 13, 2021 22:44:30 GMT 1, Has to be pne of the worst banksy projects. Whereโs the subversion?
Subversion at the seaside? What were you expecting - exploding grenade toffee apples or Che Guevara with a candy floss beard? Is the Cromer piece relating to locals being priced out of the housing market or the all in the same boat piece not enough? How about the nod to the 1968 Paris Riots? Tough audience.

One quality piece would have been enough.
Without the video.
Then we would believe better it was an actual holiday... Bit wierd selling something as a holiday when it's clearly work work work ๐

Aside from the ice cream statue which it seems everyone missed the other part I was surprised about was seeing the street blocks being broken for the sand castle piece. I was convinced it was already broken and B saw the opportunity to turn this into a piece. Never stops surprising us

I thought the exact same with the sand castle piece. The ice cream and tongue were probably removed soon after. Some other photos of it may show up now that people know it was Banksy.

Either you genuinely missed the tongue in cheek nature of it and thought he was on holiday in G Yarmouth in a caravan, or you're trolling. Either way, its not a good look for you pal.
Banksy uses his status and platform to raise awareness to a lot of good causes, if that's your concern. Plus, its an exciting time for a lot of fans on this forum to see his latest work.
It's Friday night, have a drink and stop being a party pooper.

Surprised he's given up on genuine placement, just trying to fake it instead?
More than a few of these pieces he's faked the placement... Not the top of his game?

- helped support the city of culture bid - helped bring extra attention/tourism to a seaside town after lockdown - helped bring tourism to the model village - highlighted the rising prices of housing in the area (as mentioned to you previously) - gave people multiple artworks to be excited about and go and see (in an outdoor/covid safe space) after lockdown.

Banksy drives rising house prices.
Are you really that dumb to think he's bringing attention to that issue by putting a multi million pound advert (oh I mean artwork) on them? So the house is worth ten times more?
FFS.
You're making these concepts up and choosing not to criticize.

It's the best year ever for UK tourism. Not because of Banksy ๐คฃ

People having nice things doesn't make them a snob. Pretending to be poor is another level.

Driving around it that thing. It's a cheap, old caravan. He's not poor. Sorry to break this to you. It's inauthentic.
Isn't it cultural appropriation? I dunno.
He should use his normal Tesla or whatever it is he drives in now. Why not?

What are you saying.. only poor people can get away with graffiti? Poorer people aren't noticed?

Some of your comments on this work are truly bizarre - commenting on the RV which is obviously little more than a prop. You seem to be analysing the video as though the artist is presenting it as a documentary. Just very strange. I donโt see anyone gushing over this, but most are able to enjoy it for what it is.
Well the video for one thing is just bad TV. It's cheap, meant for viral advertising. Not great art.
And... it's an art forum, so I guess you are missing a lot of enjoyment from art. Because this work is just so easy to criticize. Unfortunately.
It's just not great art. Not Banksy at his best.

Its okay, you don't need to get defensive. I understand that negative attention is still attention, if that's what you seek. All of his work doesn't have to be subversive. Actually, if he had thrown a 'subversive' work in I expect you would be groaning, "Subversive for the sake of being subversive is so cliche..."
I don't quite understand why you are chiming in on this thread so many times. There is a wonderful Damien Hirst NFT 'laser pointer for kittens' thread that could keep you busy (for a long, long time).
Personally, I think a light-hearted grouping of works along the coast seems like a perfect set-up after the last 18 months. Hopefully, for his next project he will be sure to buy a glossy 20 meter tour bus more fitting to his perceived socio-economic status...

Its okay, you don't need to get defensive. I understand that negative attention is still attention, if that's what you seek. All of his work doesn't have to be subversive. Actually, if he had thrown a 'subversive' work in I expect you would be groaning, "Subversive for the sake of being subversive is so cliche..."
I don't quite understand why you are chiming in on this thread so many times. There is a wonderful Damien Hirst NFT 'laser pointer for kittens' thread that could keep you busy (for a long, long time).
Personally, I think a light-hearted grouping of works along the coast seems like a perfect set-up after the last 18 months. Hopefully, for his next project he will be sure to buy a glossy 20 meter tour bus more fitting to his perceived socio-economic status...

New Banksy?, by Not 4 The Thril on Aug 14, 2021 3:28:02 GMT 1, I love it! I think think its a great bit of fun. A cool little video to control the Banksy narrative.
I wonder if the metal boat from the 'We're all in the same boat' piece got taken away by the city before B could go back and get a proper video. As in the video he just uses a still picture instead of a clip.
Why did he stencil a hand on the metal but show a picture from an angle where the hand doesnt make sense?
Then once the boat was taken did someone go back and try and spray a new boat?
But then its gone?

New Banksy?, by Lazarus II on Aug 14, 2021 4:32:26 GMT 1, Someone has to call out 14pages on an art forum for what is essentially bad art, bad TV, good advertising?.. no? Oh well. As you were almost singlehandedly you are getting it to 15 pages and beyond.
Whoop, my post clocked up the 15th page๐
