Space Invader shop is open!, by jeromeetjess on Nov 11, 2010 22:14:33 GMT 1, Can U please explain your deja vu reply ?
I am Invader fan as I have many pieces from him so I don't agree with people that do not consider concept as a sufficient condition to make difference between art and "I can do it myself"...... A concept grow and could be easy to understand but it is not a reason to deconsider artist research!  Can you please explain the context of your reply with my previous posts?

When I was a kid I did learn that it was rude to reply to a question with another, but I will reply anyway. It is dejรก-vu because in the previous posts in the thread that question was somehow already made. Also it was not the type of reply that contributes to a discussion but pure nonsense.
Also anticipating your reply to my question I may say that there is no point in replying defending the art concept of Invader to someone that just wrote about it and mentioned that his art is unique and important to the scene.

Space Invader shop is open!, by Cedric Mnich on Nov 11, 2010 22:38:16 GMT 1, Jack, if you are familiar with Invader's work you'll know that there are not many ways to own a piece of his art : alias pieces are scarce and very expensive. Tiles glued to wood panels sold in galleries are even more expensive. What does it leaves ? Maps and books. Or kits.
His kits are the closest one can get to his street art : it is made with the same tiles used in the street. Prints are very nice but they are not what he is famed for.
The fact that one can easily DIY is not the point. I don't care about doing invader stuff myself, it would be an imitation. What I buy is an original from the artist. I buy his idea / concept / creativity. Reproducing any of his invaders would cost me less than 10 euros, including my kits I paid for 20 times more.
Now, if anyone wants to DIY an invader, it's ok. It's just it will have no value on the art market (which is probably something most of us keep in mind when buying some art : it can be some sort of investment too, let's face it).
Regarding the comparisons to Banksy unsigned print, Manzoni's mierda or Warhol's print, what we mean is that the value of art is not related to the value of the material used to make it (except Hirst's skull of course ;-). It is not even the easthetical or technical quality of the work. IMHO it's the fact that the artist brings something new.
To some people, Basquiat's works are just child's doodles made with acrylic on cheap canvas or garbage or wood panels. To some, it's revolutionary art which is worth millions.
Invader is probably the same. To some, it's just ceramic tiles. To others, it's a great and new street art concept who will accept paying 200 euros for mere ceramic tiles...

Sorry to repeat myself, but I still have the same questions:
1. Do you really ready my posts?
2. Why keep on presenting arguments to defend Invader work to someone who agrees from the beginning that it is beautiful and important to the scene?
I will leave this discussion now as people already presented their ideas.

2. because I was reacting to this post of yours :
"How different would this be than buy some tiles and stick them to the wall? 10 euros cost?
Aren't this just tiles?
I am not diminishing Invader work by any means. I love and admire Invader work but in times of crisis..."
Yes they are just tiles and Invader does not make them himself.
Tiles look a bit glossy.
1. I do.

I have the previous released kit #12 and I had assumed that all the kits are the same size. However there is a size difference of 2 inches between these kits. Sizes are:
#12 - 7.9 x 6.3 inches
#13 - 5.9 x 4.3 inches
Quite a bit smaller when compared side by side!
