Show us Your own Artwork ๐จ, by spirit on Nov 6, 2013 14:23:01 GMT 1, You can do what you like elwheel, but as you've posted it on a public forum I'm gonna use my right to reply...
Emulating while experimenting and learning is fine. To be recommended even.
But biting someone else's style, without any of your own, and then trying to SELL it is different altogether.
Better to come up with something original first, THEN try to sell it. imho....

Want to trade my Dolk prints for a Dolk canvas!, by spirit on Nov 3, 2013 18:50:29 GMT 1, I don't think that is going to happen. (I'm not aware of many prints for canvas trades) Good luck all the same .. Agree with dot dot.
You'd be better of selling your prints and then be in a position to buy the canvas with cash.

Castle Morton 1992 news coverage , by spirit on Nov 3, 2013 18:47:28 GMT 1, Thanks for posting those. Saw a pic of my mate on top of the spiral tribe bus and funnily enough, in the last article at the bottom of the page, they tell the same story about the guy selling acid off the bonnet of the police car that I mentioned above.

Castle Morton 1992 news coverage , by spirit on Nov 2, 2013 11:35:34 GMT 1, Castle Morton was mental, I was there for 4 or 5 days.
2 memories stand out the most...
The queues of cars trying to get there went on for miles and eventually people got fed up and just got out of their cars and left them where they were on the road, which just became a massive car park. I remember a police car had tried to come up the side of the cars but got blocked by other cars in front. Some travellers then pulled another vehicle up on the other side of the cop car and another behind it blocking it in completely - and the police inside couldn't get out as they couldn't open their doors... One of the most surreal sights I have ever seen was a traveller sitting on the bonnet of the police car, shouting "Acid, Acid - get your Acid here" with the police inside completely unable to do anything about it.
The other was when we left. A friend of mine left about a half-hour before me with 3 girls in the back and another mate in the passenger seat. They were all very messy and very tired. The passengers all fell asleep very quickly and the driver not long after - doing 90 in the outside lane of the motorway. The passenger woke up just as the car was about to hit the central reservation, saw driver was asleep and grabbed the wheel - but he over-corrected and the car went into a spin. Span right across the 3 lanes, hit the embankment, turned over and rolled up it a few times, then rolled back down and was only prevented from rolling back onto the motorway buy a fortuitously placed SOS phone....
I saw the car completely totalled on the side of the motorway as I drove past about half-hour later - but no sign of them - very concerned for their safety as you can imagine....
Miraculously, not only did they all survive, but not one of them got so much as a scratch. Probably helped by the fact they were asleep when it happened. Very Very lucky people. We all learnt a lesson from that...

Are you old enough for this to give you goosebumps..., by spirit on Nov 2, 2013 3:32:26 GMT 1, I never really went clubbing at all...always liked to 'av it outdoors...
I wouldn't swap being in my twenties in the nineties for any other time before or since. By far the most creative period in dance music of all types - 94-97 was my favourite bit.
Bring out the trout!
Used to finish off with this one, so an apt time to go to bed!

Invader arrested overnight in NY, by spirit on Nov 1, 2013 18:13:58 GMT 1, I wrote the gallery owner and asked him nicely to return the princess to the wall. I pointed out that it was a gift to NYC and not to him personally. Somehow, I don't think he'll care. Good job.
I was surprised at how he just presumed it was OK to keep it.
Either leave it on the wall, or give it back to Invader so he can put it somewhere else.

Invader arrested overnight in NY, by spirit on Nov 1, 2013 15:05:32 GMT 1, No but police would have contacted him as the building owner to ask if he wanted to make a complaint.
Had Miller not wanted to press charges, Invader would have been released as no offence would have been committed.
If Invader is still under arrest then one presumes Miller did make a complaint.
And then took the work.
Nice.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by spirit on Nov 1, 2013 12:15:31 GMT 1, Amen to that! Tho I'm not sure we can think the establishment hasn't been changed since Banksy started doing his thing his own way. I think a lot of minds have been enlightened over the years thru his work. I think he catalyzed a new excitement for art in general. Yes I do. He has certainly moved people (I mean emotionally but also, lol, physically). Banksy is an artist in every sense of the definition - and a hugely important artist at that. I think his punk vision has changed things in its own way. I thought back in the day, and now more than ever, he's a hugely important artist of our time, if not the most. One last thing I need to get off my chest before I retire: a reader's comment in Salt'z thread suggesting that Banksy himself acknowledges his art is less than great. I know Banksy jokes about not taking anything too seriously, but do we really think he thinks that what he puts up is banal? No. There are layers of messaging and interpretation in almost all of his artwork. It's designed to have us take another look at ourselves and our relationship with culture/society...and question it. He creates tension, often with a wink so we can be entertained while revisiting our perspectives. Clearly lot of thought goes into those communications, including placement, etc. I believe Banksy does take his work seriously and testament to that is its quality. And testament to its quality is the interest/conversation of the world, and interest in what he will do next. Great posts dkla.
Artists become historically "important" for being path finders and changing the history of art itself.
Whatever idiots like Saltz think of Banksy's art in terms of individual pieces etc (which he clearly doesn't seem to comprehend anyway), there is no doubt whatsoever that he is breaking completely new ground in the way an artist communicates with his audience. This "residency" has been a brilliant example of that.
You could almost look at the entire residency - the pieces, the organisation, the website, the audio etc - as being one single piece of art - and there has never been anything like it.
It is for this reason that I agree with you that Banksy will go down as one of, if not the most important artist of our generation.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by spirit on Nov 1, 2013 0:22:44 GMT 1, Agree. I think of all People Deitch sums this point up pretty well in a recent interview. "Academic conceptual art, much of it, in its sort of gallery-ready form, has difficulty connecting with a broad range of cultured people who are interested in visual culture. Banksy, who is very much a conceptual artist, works in a way that is very direct; he plays with media and with culture and gets it on so many levels and really is able to connect with people. So, some of the more academic conceptualists are worried about protecting their position: they see a Banksy coming out of nowhere, drawing 75,000 people to a pop-up show over three days and getting nominated for an Oscar for his film. How do you think the academic conceptualists feel when all their lives they have relied on the same old system of validation by certain respected critics, magazines, museums, and galleries? Banksy doesnโt need this validation system because his audience is reacting directly: there is no need for a criticโs validation anymore. Academic conceptualism, however, can only thrive with this kind of validation." www.brooklynrail.org/2013/10/art/jeffrey-deitch-with-david-carrier-and-joachim-pissarro Damn, same idea, but Deitch put it so much better than I did on Jerry's comments...(I'm Torin on there)

Made even worse by then labelling it all as "obvious"
He reminded me of my 8 year old self in the Tate, looking at a Kandinsky's Cossaks and blurting out "I could do that!"

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by spirit on Oct 31, 2013 22:20:14 GMT 1, I guess its not completely over till the auction ends in 2 hours and 40mins...
Price is at $310,400 and has been for some time... do you think there will be a massive rush at the end? Or will it stay near where it is now?
Would love to see it make over a million dollars as our self-appointed-banksy-expert reckoned...
That would be the icing on the cake for such a good cause.
