Banksy and DADA?, by dburn on Apr 28, 2008 8:23:55 GMT 1,
I find myself studying Salvador Dali for a class right now. Learning about surrealism and DADA. It is obvious that alot of Banksys work was influenced by surrealist artist. I'm wondering if he is classifiable at a surrealist artist? Is it possible that Banksy is the second generation of DADA? Probably not but i thought it would make for an interesting case.

Banksy and DADA?, by barry cilit on Apr 28, 2008 10:26:34 GMT 1, SHIT!!!
that's my dissertation up the chuffer then!
I always thought Banksy was an avid follower of Debord's group hence the monkeys in police helmets and pulp fiction duo holding bananas!!
or maybe Banksy's mastery is just a little bit too High brow for that of the Dada family?

Banksy and DADA?, by dotdot on Apr 28, 2008 10:52:55 GMT 1, There was this interesting Mag a while back called VAGUE - most obscure of me to remember it - well it seems the provider
one TOM VAGUE has spawned a few pages on the net - have a
search for him.
Found this for example...
sami.is.free.fr/Oeuvres/boy_scouts_guide_to_the_s_i.html
His magazine focussed on an early eighties view of SI from
the late 60's - even now it's an interesting subject.
It's a tad different from the wikipedia view .. however

Banksy and DADA?, by Neverwork on Apr 28, 2008 11:34:09 GMT 1, dont worry barry its not all lost, just to clarify, im not saying banksy doesn't use situationist themes or tactics in his work and practice but that the term situationism should be used with caution! debord even commented on it himself. i too use situationist themes and methods in my work, for instance "and the tv convinces us we are happy and free" is actually a line from vaneigem's revolution of everyday life.

Banksy and DADA?, by froz on Apr 29, 2008 4:05:35 GMT 1, I just recently took a History of graphic Design course, and i would have to say that banksy is neither dada nor surealist. I think Banksy is political urban artist. Influences, English latemodern graphic design period possibly. During that period alot of the same style of imagery was used such as his pieces with photomontages, and as for faile, Heroic Realisim?Japanese Late Modern, and some old comic book art.

Banksy and DADA?, by froz on Apr 29, 2008 4:12:49 GMT 1, and I also agree that faile is more dada than bannksy. If you look at some of failes pieces he almost expresses the words he places on there as poetry "Forbidden Truths, Forgotten hell?" Doesnt that sound like something a poet would possibly say? Since dada was created by a philosopher poet, i would have to say failes art definetly could be classified as a modern style of dada.
