Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by etched on Jun 12, 2009 23:35:15 GMT 1, I'm a huge Banksy fan -like everyone here, but we'd be nothing robotic idiots if we don't use an intelligent perspective. Everyone can criticise Hirst for churning out spot, butterfly paintings and the same formaldehyde money spinners but when Banksy does it, it's fantastic! amazing! the work of genuis. It seems to me Banksy is suffering from self love. He thinks everything he touches is great because he surrounds himself with fawning worshippers. Many who are on this site. He has the talent. He has the potential, but he needs make the great leaps he's capable of if he's ever going to leave a meaningful legacy. Right I'll leave you piranahs (sorry, experts) to it.....night.
as i said tenmins - your providing your pace - 'but he needs make the great leaps he's capable of if he's ever going to leave a meaningful legacy. '

Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by Guest on Jun 12, 2009 23:47:48 GMT 1, Two things, really pleased this show will run all summer, giving me plenty time to get down ther and also that so much of the pet store has been resurrected across the pond. If you're disappointed from what you have seen, well thats just fine, but for me, can't wait to check it out.
slowmo showing as a guest?

Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by trowel on Jun 13, 2009 0:23:25 GMT 1, My train goes to Bristol Parkway. How do I get to the exhib / how long will it take me? Havent been to Brizzle by train for a few years now, and never been to Parkway. G
You'll either need to get a ticket on to Temple Meads - don't even think about travelling on with only a ticket to Parkway, as Temple Meads has ticket barriers on exit - or get a cab to Clifton (about £10-15 I reckon). Might be buses, never tried.
Re. cheap accommodation, there's a few overpriced dirty B&Bs in Clifton, but your best bet is somewhere like Travelodge or the Ibis around the Harbourside/Anchor Road - both only 15 mins walk (very uphill...) from the museum.

Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by Heavyconsumer on Jun 13, 2009 0:32:04 GMT 1, Sorry Mr Etched. But you misread me. What I'm saying is there's NO progression..... there is but its not at your pace
Gotta say I agree. Some of the themes may be a little used now, but that's hte nature of the beast to an extent. As an artist who uses his work to comment on areas and aspects of our society he feels strongly about, you can't expect him to follow all the norm's when it comes to what the art world expects. That would make him far more boring and predictable than working the themes he cares about or enjoys imo. If people are looking for an artist who is only focussed on the progress of his own career and style of execution, I fear Banksy may disappoint, as seems the case here, but if on the other hand, if you want to see an artist producing work he believes in and using it to say something about the state of society around us, then take it as it comes and every now and again Mr B will leave you in shock and awe!!! The whole Pet Store concept was too great to let die by the wayside after NYC imo and I wish I were in the UK to pop along in person and see it along woth all the other work at the show (it looks superb from what I can see online so far).

Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by junta on Jun 13, 2009 0:43:13 GMT 1, heavyconsumer is dead on. banksy is providing social commentary, why should he stop making noise about something and move on when the issue still exists. i think hes put huge effort into using as many mediums as possible...
love that petshop stuff, when i first saw it online for the nyc show i honestly couldnt figure if it was him or a project he supported or what!
then again teacher always said i was special
