Banksy: You Are an Acceptable Level of Threat Book, by ilmambo on Mar 8, 2012 18:04:07 GMT 1, www.amazon.com/gp/product/1908211083/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=guillotine07-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1908211083
Hardcover: 240 pages Publisher: Carpet Bombing Culture (July 2, 2012) Language: English ISBN-10: 1908211083 ISBN-13: 978-1908211088
The single best collection of photographs of Banksy's street work. Period. You Are An Acceptable Level of Threat concentrates on this singular artist's iconic imagery, spanning the late '90s up until the end of 2011. The locations are from around the world (predominantly the UK, US and Europe), and many images have never been seen before. When Banksy started out painting, the political landscape was bleak. Fortunately now, it's ten times worse. As Banksy's cheerfully aggressive political work becomes ever more relevant, this comprehensive tome sets about presenting his art in the context of the era he was responding to.

Banksy: You Are an Acceptable Level of Threat Book, by Agent Provocateur on May 22, 2012 15:43:53 GMT 1, Never heard about this book but sounds interesting from it's write up... yep, another cash in on his popularity but loads of pretty pictures! I wonder if any members on here have photos included?
Book's website www.youareanacceptablelevelofthreat.com
Pre-order the book from Carpet Bombing Culture www.carpetbombingculture.co.uk/index.php?action=what&subaction=banksy_acceptable_threat
Banksy you are an acceptable level of threat and if you were not you would know about it
Banksy is the closest thing we have to Che Guevara. Except, as far as we know, he’s never flunked medical school, shot anyone or attempted to foment revolution in the Congo. You will find, gathered lovingly together, in this book - the single best collection of photography of Banksy’s street work that has ever been assembled for print. If that isn’t enough there are some words too. Much to the chagrin of art schools everywhere, it is likely that Banksy will be the best remembered artist of post-millennial-depression Britain. His capacity to grab attention and deliver a message, often with a punch line or hidden layer of meaning would have landed him a great job in an advertising agency. Madison Avenue’s loss is our gain.
If you’ve never heard of Banksy, this book is all you’ll ever need to read to be able to engage in pub table debates about the man and the legend.
When Banksy started out painting the political landscape was bleak. Fortunately now, it’s ten times worse. So as Banksy’s cheerfully aggressive political work grows ever more relevant we take a stab at presenting his art in the context of the era he was responding to, looking at the issues his work was about.
While many other books ask dry questions such as Just who is Banksy and what makes him tick? We don’t bother. We’re more interested in his prolific work on the streets, which for the most part has been lost to future generations through greed or the dreaded buff. Consequently, this book seeks to concentrate on his iconic imagery spanning the past decade, from Los Angeles to Lewisham (and everywhere inbetween), including many images never before seen.
However, make no mistake; this is not a dull history book or dimwitted collection of mediocre fan snaps. This book is designed to ignite, provoke and inspire you - and is a work of art in itself. So hopefully when Palestine is a free state and school kids of the future wonder why Banksy went to Bethlehem, it will all be clear. Banksy goes to Bolivia to start a guerrilla uprising and gets shot to death? Could happen.

Banksy: You Are an Acceptable Level of Threat Book, by Trismanco on May 24, 2012 19:55:32 GMT 1, Blimey - looking on Amazon this is around the 10th book made about Banksy without any input or permission from the artist!?
That's got to be some kind of record?

yes, but he hasn't done a book for almost 7 years now. If he stuck his head above the parapet and did a new book then less secondary books would exist I suspect.
someone clever once said that it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission

Banksy: You Are an Acceptable Level of Threat Book, by Trismanco on May 28, 2012 20:27:43 GMT 1, Many of the Picasso books were written after his death - but its a good point and in Mr B's case its measure of his popularity that's theres a bootleg book industry. Its a shame that these books they don't offer much critically and its getting ridiculous how many of them have just popped up in recent months!
