Banksy's Bristol: Home Sweet Home
2:00 pm, Sat 15th August 2009
Steve Wright, author of 'Banksy's Bristol' will be in store from 2pm signing copies of his fantastic book.
Home Sweet Home is a celebration of Banksy's street art in his home city of Bristol. This book places him in the context of 3D, John Nation from the Barton Hill Settlement, Inkie, Nick Walker and the other artists and musicians who were instrumental in linking Bristol to the original New York hip hop scene. It is the most revealing account of Banksy's formative years and contains more than one hundred images of his Bristol art, as well as pictures of Banksy at work, many of which have never been published before. Steve Wright, Venue magazine's Art Editor , traces Banksy's roots back to the rave culture of the Nineties and draws a rounded picture of an artist who is most famous for being anonymous.

Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by robertlondon on Aug 9, 2009 1:48:30 GMT 1, Saturday 8th August
After the 4 hour traffic-jammed hell of the M4, I settled in for the 2 hour queue snake
4.20pm - and they just closed the doors to about 250 people!
Needless to say - everyone pissed off.
People shouting etc etc
I can't help thinking that the museum could've put people out of their misery a lot earlier rather than allowing them to stand there for the full 2 hours. They must, by now, have a good idea of how many will get in before their deadline and should act to stop people queuing fruitlessly.

Although I guess it is rather obvious that the hours need to be extended so you'd hope they would act on it.
Roll on Wednesday.

Checked it the queue again Sunday lunch time and it was massive. Very impressed with the show and was totally shocked to get my hands on a Parliament poster.

Banksy Bristol City Museum Show, by laing on Aug 10, 2009 13:59:27 GMT 1, Went on Friday (7 Aug). Arrived in Bristol at 8:20, dropped the wife off to join the queue (around 30 people at this point). By the time I had parked and returned with breakfast and tea the queue wrapped up around Browns and had filled 2 of the lanes set up. Got in on the first wave and spent a good 2 hours soaking it all up. Absolutely famtastic and hoping to get back to see it again. We worth the wait but deinitely worth getting there early. Passed it again later that day and the queue didn't seem to have an end to it! Also went to Oxfam over the road to pick up some stickers but they are completely sold out now.
