Mr Brainwash Show ICONS New York 2010, by BK83 on Feb 12, 2010 19:18:03 GMT 1, Yes. Walshy is right. MBW told me last night that he had just flown in and not even yet had a chance to look at the show. It was the first time he had seen everything put together as well. He said he needed to run around and make some chnages before the big opening on Sunday.
He does have quite the team though.
Mr. Brainwash A.K.A. Thierry Guetta [Team: Clemence Janin, David Healy, Romain Lefebvre, Celeste Sparrow, Forest Burchard & Debora Guetta]
And that's just the people who get credited.

"Mr. Brainwash: For Real?"
"Los Angeles-based artist Mr. Brainwash is the subject of the documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop," one of the most talked-about films at last month's Sundance Film Festival. Now he's getting ready for his own big art exhibition in New York, filling a cavernous space with sculptures and large canvas paintings priced as high as $300,000."

Not my cup of tea either but if this wasn't such a rip off it would be a great piece.

Mr Brainwash Show ICONS New York 2010, by rosstierney on Feb 13, 2010 2:40:43 GMT 1, what a joke. love the way chairs have been put in front of the work as if people need to look at it for more than a split second  i do appreciate the matchbox & broken record portraits though. someone should do a broken record portrait of thierry, that would sum up his (i use that word lightly) work.

Other than Ethel Scull, his Madonna also reminds me of Marilyn X 100. Similar imagery and technique, a recycled Warhol nonetheless.

There was a report on television this week about the Nottingham arts centre, one of the people interviewed said they would have preferred some more shops. That attitude is what the Brainwash phenomena feeds on.

Even the Wall Street Journal is reporting on this:
"The street artist, friend and film cohort of graffiti artist Banksy is a master of enigma"
""Maybe I am Banksy," says the enigmatic artist, who says his real name is Thierry Guetta and speaks in a thick French accent. "Maybe not." "
online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704140104575057350802155846.html?mod=WSJ_LifeStyle_Lifestyle_5
Whatever we may think of his work, he sure is a successful entertainer. I may swing by the show today to see what this hype is all about.

I think what I find most humorous about the whole mr. brainwash thing is how pissed off he makes people. Getting that pissed off about MBW is time well spent for sure

i do appreciate the matchbox & broken record portraits though. someone should do a broken record portrait of thierry, that would sum up his (i use that word lightly) work.
