Invader Space Station show in Paris, by lukas01 on Dec 8, 2023 14:47:39 GMT 1, Good to see someone is still flying the flag for Urban art since Banksy seems to have hung up his spray can.
You are right! Banksy, after the Glasgow exhibition (Jun 2023), December 2023, May 2024, September 2024, February 2025, 26, 27, etc., etc., has no longer done great things but has returned home!... It must be a very special artist! ;-)))

Have all the logistics, the QA, support, without being Shepard Fairey and handling a team of dozens of persons The guy put art underwater, in the NY metro, at 4000m in Bolivia, in space (twice!). Got arrested multiple times, is banned from some countries... 4000 art pieces around the world on a 20+ years period How can one open edition release can touch his street credit?

Maybe but that was not the point.
Point was it affected his street credit. Did it really?

The HENI release was a pure cash grab: mediocre images, on shitty medium, totally overpriced. It's sole intention was to make money, at the expense of his fans/ collectors.
Depending on his bank balance, it might be sensible. And it doesn't destroy his reputation, but I think it's a small dent nonetheless

i just disagree a bit and I have already read that for some graffiti artists. Well itโs true that, in comparison with some lazy street-Artists ( weโll say ), he is up on the ladder ๐ช everywhere. But first he likes that a lot, adrenaline and passion, he has money and likes to travel, he likes the streets and to put, to show his artworks in the streets, etc.. I adore him ( and I wonโt speak - he does what he wants, itโs his life - about Oti or Heni, etc, he is a businessman too, and knows perfectly how to promote artworks etc..) . I like his talent, but I would not complain about graffiti, artists or street-artistโ โs life. Each true artists creates where he wants to show the world, and he makes the job. Some have not this chance.
I mean my friend, it's like some here praise the merits of graffiti artists like Tox10foot etc, painting in the cold etc, but it's the adventure, the joy of meeting each other, the adrenaline, the beers, showing people on the street , paint etc... Others do it in studios, they have chosen this way of life. I of course respect and admire, but pity them (as read here sometimes) no. Me too, I lived in squats, I'm a fan of nothing in London but I loved it, a lot. Freedom. And art.

Invader Space Station show in Paris, by faute on Dec 9, 2023 15:25:30 GMT 1, I tend to agree with Lroy. What is street credibility and do we confuse it with ยซ market credibility ยป here?
BANDO says
It is actually really simple: The only true writers are those who steal or have stolen their paint and who are doing or have done illegal walls. Donโt get me wrong, once you have paid your graffiti dues, this โgenuineness,โ so to speak, can never be taken away. For example take Jonone. He has bombed NYC more than anyone back in the day. He was King of NY, and when you buy a Jon painting today you have all that graffiti blood, sweat and tears behind everything he does. It is a genuine piece of graffiti art, not some fake BS with no foundation.
So as long as you have paid your dues, you are real, and if you have not, you are a poser. I have nothing against people buying paint and doing only legal stuff. To each his own, but donโt call it graffiti. Call it by its true name: Street Art.
www.mtn-world.com/en/blog/2023/10/03/there-are-too-many-graffiti-posers-an-interview-with-bando-the-parisian-pioneer/?topic=--graffiti
As a collector, I tend to disagree. You can be a true writer and sell a bad piece with no connection (to caricature you have 4 categories, connected with graffiti/street art and a great piece on its own, one or the other, or none).That make graffiti and street art, a different thing to collect.
This I like for example
https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtaSPQNJ83E
It looks real. Like real people. Not trying to look cool. I donโt even know or care if legal. Heni prints did not change that to me. There were a lot of legends in Miami this week. But WTF. It did not look real to me.

My favourite quote wasโฆ โA couple of years ago, Hirst sent Invader an e-mail asking if he wanted to collaborate on a series of N.F.T.s. Invader said no.โ

Mostly usufull to get to know his work if you do not already, which is surely the case for most Americans! Anyway, what a fine recognition when you know the quality of the New Yorker. Makes me think to the also very nice article earlier this year in the NYT. Go Invader!!!
