Tate Modern ๐ฌ๐ง London, by robinbanks on Aug 26, 2009 14:35:45 GMT 1, Bristol Museum is much different to the Tate. After all that Banksy has written and said about modern art I can't see him either being asked or wanting to appear in the Tate.
Mind the crap.

That's true and it's a bit early for a retrospective in any case - but never say never. Contrary to popular belief, Banksy is only human and humans have been known to change their minds now and again.
I'll start ducking now to avoid the inevitable stoning for heresy.

Tate Modern ๐ฌ๐ง London, by Deleted on Aug 26, 2009 17:11:00 GMT 1, I have been to the Tate many times, as i only live a short walk away, im ashamed to say i have never paid to go to one of the specialist exhibitions. I would say that the 'free' parts of the Tate would see more people through its doors. On the paying front i doubt recent one's like Duchamp's matched the same turnout as Banksy. So if it was Artist against Artist, i would say Banksy wins.

Tate Modern ๐ฌ๐ง London, by bojangles on Aug 26, 2009 17:11:33 GMT 1, i would say their big shows for sure. just the tate modern is pulling in about 5mil a year, but obviously thats not all for exhibitions. i think a tate banksy show would be one of the biggest shows for a long time. Tate has international clout that, let's face it bristol museum doesn't have. That said Banksy has never been about international clout and always supported the little guy.
my vote = my living room he can spray that up all day.
the banksy show is the 6th largest in terms of attendance this year.

Tate Modern ๐ฌ๐ง London, by sashaz on Aug 26, 2009 18:17:54 GMT 1, for urban art to be fully accepted as a step in art history then it has to be exhibited in main stream national museums. From there it can step up and in years to come urban art might then be a chapter in the art history books. As it I dont feel it is really accepted by the art mainstream, maybe im wrong but I think alot of the big wig art dealers/art big wigs dont look at it as they havent really dealt in it and they are not keyed into it. so to many it is like poster art.

Tate Modern ๐ฌ๐ง London, by cashman on Aug 27, 2009 5:20:04 GMT 1, Whats the next step for Banksy? Could the Bristol City Museum show have caught the notice of the Tate in London? How do the visitor numbers for the Bristol show rate with what the Tate Modern gets? If you ran the Tate Modern would getting Banksy in to do a show be an obvious move for next year? What do you think?
10-20 years down the line it may work, but for now its a horrible idea....a derelict industrial estate or docks would work better as half the aesthetic is already there

Picked up a flyer yesterday @ the Carnival which didn't give much away about what was happening, but a little investigation today found this on the Guardian website...
"Today the Guardian is helping to launch 10:10, a major new climate campaign that asks individuals, businesses and organisations of all kinds to try to cut their carbon emissions by 10% in 2010.
Join us at the campaign's public launch at London's Tate Modern from 4pm to 7pm this afternoon and be part of what could be a historic moment in the battle against climate change.
You'll be able to sign up as one of the 10:10 trailblazers, get a free 10:10 tag made from a recycled aircraft, and hear a free concert by two of our favourite bands, Reverend and the Makers and Stornoway.
There'll even be a free glass of champagne โ courtesy of Ocado โ for the first 1,010 people to sign up. Tell your friends, and hope to see you there.
Can't make it to the Tate? Sign up at 1010uk.org."
Sounds like a really good initiative so thought we'd spread the word.

Tate Modern ๐ฌ๐ง London, by silvermyn on Sept 29, 2009 12:51:51 GMT 1,
Good business, Andy Warhol said, is the best art.
Tate Modern is now set to test this thesis when it opens a giant show profiling the stars of contemporary art this week.
The gallery is mixing modern art and commercialism in an exhibition examining the influence of Warhol on his successors.
The show pitches Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin as clear descendants of the self-mythologising and commercially savvy Warhol in a show that looks at how artists have created their own signature brands over the last 30 to 40 years.
Gallery: Tate Modern's Pop Life exhibition
It comes after Nicholas Penny, director of the rival National Gallery, called for an end to the blockbuster exhibition and shows the Tate reaching out to populist audiences as well as art enthusiasts.
But Pop Life curator Catherine Wood insisted: "It's not going to be an easy, familiar show for people in the way that a big Warhol blockbuster is."
The exhibition starts with the late Warhol of cable television broadcasts, not the well-known soup cans and Brillo boxes, and examines how he and subsequent artists have infiltrated and used the publicity machine and marketplace instead of shunning commercialism.
Ms Wood said there was a clear line that could be traced from the Young British Artists like Emin and Hirst back to Warhol.
Many of them first encountered Warhol's work in London in an influential show staged by Charles Saatchi in 1985 and later some even met Warhol in New York before he died in 1987.
The influence was made manifest in Hirst's ground-breaking London Docklands warehouse show of his contemporaries' work, Freeze, in 1988.
"But it was not just Warhol. Warhol was taken over by Jeff Koons who engaged with publicity and self-promotion and used them in his work," Ms Wood said.
Some - like Mark Rothko, another artist recently profiled by Tate Modern - thought such an approach was selling out. But Ms Wood said it was more honest than artists who took commissions to survive but refused to accept them as art.
By creating their own limited editions and merchandise, Pop Life artists also made art available for all. "What links a lot of the artists from Warhol to Koons to Hirst is a democratic impulse to take art to the mass public," she said. The exhibition is recreating some important moments in recent art history. Specially recruited identical twins will sit for the duration of the show beneath identical spot paintings in a new version of a 1982 performance/installation by Hirst.
Anyone who missed the art store famously run by Tracey Emin and Sarah Lucas in the East End early in their careers can get a glimpse of what it was like. And the original Pop Shop created by the late Keith Haring in New York in the Eighties has also been recreated, complete with music and facsimile merchandise.
The exhibition is also coming out of the gallery and into the commercial heart of central London when a copy of one of Koons's most famous works is mounted in Covent Garden.
A 53ft replica of his 3ft stainless steel sculpture Rabbit, dating from 1986, is being placed in the South Hall of the Market Building.
Bev Churchill, from Covent Garden, said: "We are delighted to be hosting one of his most recognisable pieces on its inaugural visit to the UK."
Gallery: Tate Modern's Pop Life exhibition
Pop Life, Art in a Material World opens on Thursday and runs until 17 January with full-price admission at ยฃ12.50.

Tate Modern ๐ฌ๐ง London, by Happy Shopper on Oct 4, 2009 10:26:00 GMT 1, Went yesterday.
Great show. Awesome Warhol and Takashi Murakmami rooms.
Only trouble is, if you live in London and have seen the Koons show at Serpentine, Hirst at Sotherby's, Warhol at The Hayward, then you've already had a pop overload far bigger than this show!
Exclusive Murakami and Tracy Emin merchandise is cool.
Nice Murakami x Tate bag and a Limited Edition T-Shirt (1000 apparently)
They also have other Kai Kai Kiki badges, stickers and books.

"It is like staring into the depths of a black hole.
Polish artist Miroslaw Balka's How It Is is the latest artistic commission to fill the massive Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern.
He has created a steel sculpture, like a giant shipping container, that visitors can walk inside, as well as underneath and around.
The pitch-dark chamber, which is 30m long, 13m high, and 10m wide, can be entered via a ramp."

Tate Modern ๐ฌ๐ง London, by Deleted on Oct 20, 2009 21:23:36 GMT 1, Keith Haring fabric patches from the Pop Life exhibition shop
The exhibition Pop Life opened last week at Tate Modern. The show looks at the impact of Pop Art and how following generations of artists embraced the cult of celebrity and the commercial opportunities it offered.
At the centre of the exhibition is a recreation of Keith Haring's Pop Shop which he set up in New York to sell his branded products directly to the public. Of course this means Tate is stocking some great related products, including these fabric patches.
Reflecting Haring's willingness to put his name to just about anything, they use four of his famous designs, including the baby. They are perfect for adding a touch of street art to a worn, but otherwise loved, item of clothing. At ยฃ4.40 each they are a cheap way of adding a little bit of Keith Haring design to your wardrobe.
