Cartrain ๐ฌ๐ง Tate Gallery โข Damien Hirst โข Gilbert & George, by stickitup on Oct 18, 2010 13:21:22 GMT 1, ok but i bumped into him in the street once, he wasn't wearing a disguise. I think it really is that easy to find him if you have the inclination and some cash, I think most people can be bought for a fee. I am sure he picks his mates carefully but you can't hide from everyone all the time.

Cartrain ๐ฌ๐ง Tate Gallery โข Damien Hirst โข Gilbert & George, by stickitup on Oct 15, 2010 20:43:08 GMT 1, So, stickitup, if Banksy was not anonymous he would not be "half" as, famous, talented, good etc... An absurd statement...true, his anonymous schtick gained him a few column inches a couple of years ago, but more than that he has always stood on the solid foundation of his art..gimmicks may draw a bit of attention but they will draw attention to your lack of talent if that is what is there....for the love of all that's holy...does noone remember Sigue Sigue Sputnik? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) (to draw an analogy...) ahem, so are you saying if he was simply a graffiti writer or an artist he would be as famous, thats $hite, he'd still be as talented but there are many talented artists about, the thing that sets banksy apart is the inability to make contact with him and the secrecy which surrounds him and his art. Putting things in art galleries which aren't meant to be there is something art students have been doing for years - hell i even did it once. I find some of his work is not particularly strong and the impact is weakened when it starts getting political imo. His one line humour and animal related pieces have moments of genius and the appeal is broad, something which he has made a great success.

Mario Testino ๐ต๐ช Fashion & Portrait Photographer, by stickitup on Oct 10, 2010 23:14:16 GMT 1, if anyone still wants a copyof this and is willing to payยฃ450 Harrods still have them, I ordered mine online at waterstones and managed to wrangle an order of ยฃ300 before the price went up and got it honoured at Waterstones at Harrods. Having got it, it is a nice book and although difficult to see why its so highly priced it is a verygood record of an icon who is recorded displaying fashion and a moment of our times in a way that Munroe did when alive. This book will be worth a fortune when Kate dies of an overdose or Testino is no longer around to press the button of a camera. It will fetch a lotin auction in years to come, buy as an heirloom ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Duchamp successfully redefined what art could be many years ago. The K foundation made an interesting point about art and money in one of the greatest avant guard acts of art in the last 50 years. If you can find it look for both the documentaries by the KFoundation burning their million ยฃ and also Tony Kay's transition from advertising guru to artist, where he investigates what suddenly makes him an artisit and what art can be. thanks for this stickitup, will look into. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) they are both a few years old maybe 10 years+ but were shown on terrestrial tv (BBC, ITV,or CH4) the Tony Kay one has a couple of amusing bits where he contemplates walking into a gallery and $hitting on the floor as an act of art. I think I videoed them but transferring videos to dvd is something I am not able to do unfortunately.

King ROBBO ๐ฌ๐ง Banksy v King Robbo โข Street Art, by stickitup on Sept 30, 2010 11:22:09 GMT 1, The same can be reflected back that if a writer puts vandalism in a gallery it brings it closer to the art world than the police station. The Tox print that was released still had zero artistic merit. Just cause it's in a gallery space is no proof of being art. Tox/10ft et al I'm sure would agree, it's about getting up, not making sure the tag's got no drips ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) oh dear, oh dear, you have just underlined the fact that the Tox print has artistic merit, the print conceptually represents "getting up", art doesn't just have to be about aesthetics. I don't partularly want to get into a polarised debate about what constitutes art, however most would agree that there are some boundries that help the art become art, one of them is the "art" appearing in a gallery or the "artist" producing a work which stimulates some kind of reaction when experienced, there are several other criteria, what is not easily explainable is whether it is good art or bad art. And for the record getting up is not about whether your tag has drips or not, its about getting up.

King ROBBO ๐ฌ๐ง Banksy v King Robbo โข Street Art, by stickitup on Sept 28, 2010 15:53:06 GMT 1, Ok so graff and art have had a problematic relationship up until recently. There are lots of artists who have come from graff background, but at what point do they stop being a writer and become an artist, I guess thats what I am hinting at. I still find beauty in a well executed tag, its still graff but has a flow which you can call artisitic, I am sure you would agree that if Mode2 tagged a wall illegally there is all the merit of aesthetics even if it is vandalism. The same can be reflected back that if a writer puts vandalism in a gallery it brings it closer to the art world than the police station. Thoughts Remi?

Er and you are an authority on what makes an artist Remi?
