Agree the concept and the getting it out on the pier is great.
But I have to agree with Ross on the "why, why, why" of the print

What next, photos of Banksy's pet store released as prints.......

DRUG VEND, by loucastel on Oct 16, 2008 9:47:39 GMT 1, Another example of hype, instalation ok, with the run up to this dire attempt to once again sucker the art buying general public, I know, lets take a photo, turn it into a giclee, someone is bound to buy it!!, this is one of the reasons that this genre is getting so diluted, stuff like this should stay where it belongs, as an idea!!!!

But with this print the concept is lost and with it integrity.

Why is it that everything that is put out on the streets now needs a print to go along side it. Superb piece by Imbue somewhat weakened by a ยฃ70 photo

DRUG VEND, by imbue on Oct 16, 2008 18:43:57 GMT 1, Hey guys, a little upset by the comments. I have been working on this project for a few months and when I first created the Drug Vend I always planed on getting a photograph of the machine in a busy public place. The video was just an extra!
We thought about the location carefully and took a whole day filming and getting the shots. I chose this shot as it worked brilliantly with the children and bright fairground background. I did not simply "take a photo and try and flog it" A giclee print of these size is much more expensive to print than a screen print. Although some people seem to think a silk screen is the only thing that counts as art.
People are also very willing to by a lot of meaningless art, hand sprayed 1 layer stencils using something from google images.
This is also a piece of fine photography. The photo was taken by Loukia Avvakoumides www.flickr.com/photos/lukielou/ who is an excellent photographer.
I am very happy with my work and I suppose that's all that matters. I just want you to know that a lot of work went into this

DRUG VEND, by Prescription Art on Oct 16, 2008 19:05:37 GMT 1, Ignore the haters imbue.... just keep on doing your thing.
My one comment would be that the photo (though nice in a garish Martin Parr kind of way) could have been better. The people in the background all have their back to the vending machine, and you don't get much sense of anyone interacting with the piece... this is maybe enhanced with the sharp depth of field putting everything else into the background. Even a staged picture might have worked, with someone dropping a coin in the slot or something.
It's a sad fact of life that artists have to make a living too. Your work is more interesting than most so keep it up...

Don't be down beat Imbue, maybe a few comments here were a bit harsh, but you know what this place is like. I loved the video and the idea, it was a good way to make a point. I don't think the photo as follow up was such a great idea, maybe that was more to do with timing, i suspect if the photo had preceded the video it would have gone by without comment. Maybe something else on the same theme would have hit the spot.
Keep up the good work and make sure you don't get arrested for selling drugs

DRUG VEND, by loucastel on Oct 16, 2008 20:51:25 GMT 1, I didnt comment on the original thread about the drug vend thing, as I considered it great as an installation in a gallery, but on the street for kids to ask questions about was another matter, and I'm talking from a parents perpective on that, as I think kids have enough to deal with without this kind of thing being pushed in their faces, but as regards the photo/print, why must we be all classed as haters for disliking something which is at best very weak, and what seemed to be a total afterthought, I realise "artists" have to earn a living, that is great, but I just feel that there is art and art and this is neither, just pure spin!!!

DRUG VEND, by DYL4N on Oct 16, 2008 21:19:10 GMT 1, ditto what locus said, not looking forward to the day my 2 kids start askin questions.
Here is something else to remember Imbue, if your gallery chooses to do a bit of FREE advertising on a forum like this i'm afraid you have to take the rough with the smooth mate.
If you want only praise about your work then I don't think this is the place, constructive crticisim? Then if your lucky on a good night you might get some of that too.
Keep up the good work, and good luck with the print.

DRUG VEND, by bobbyt23 on Oct 16, 2008 21:21:37 GMT 1, I'd just like to say I dont think people purposefully wanted to criticise and have a go at you.
The way I see it most people were really impressed with the street piece and the idea of it. To then get a print afterwards, well that felt like the same old dirty marketing campaigns we have been subject to on here quite a bit. People dont like it.
Keep up the good work because there are obviously some really good ideas in that head.

... but you wont mind answering questions about kissing coppers, or Queen Victoria sat on some chicks face?
I think its an inventive and funny concept on the easy availibility of drugs to children on the streets. In todays society we should be more than ready to be answering these questions to our kids IMO.
If this is too hard for you over there in 'Middle Class' England, then keep your eyes closed along with your childrens. Reality hurts!!!
Give Imbue a break. I think its great! Hate the print idea though, sorry!
