BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by sakyamuni on Oct 13, 2015 16:20:45 GMT 1, thinking "simple" won't help in Calais. I am guessing there are more people living in the streets in London (or Paris) than in Calais, so if providing lodging for the winter is the main issue there are many other areas to look at. Calais is not a refugee issue, as most don't want to receive asylum in France even if they could, like they don't want to do it in Italy, Greece, Hungary and most of the European countries. Calais is the result of the European policy on asylum, the will of individuals to choose where they want to live and economical opportunities. Supplying a blanket won't change much to the situation. What they want is to cross that channel, not much else.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by sakyamuni on Oct 13, 2015 15:12:38 GMT 1, problem in Calais is not new, and the issue remain the same: you have thousands of people who want to go to England, either because they have relatives there or because they believe it will be easier to find a job there than in France. Some are asylum seekers, some are not, but they all share the same goal. They won't apply for asylum in France otherwise they won't be able to do so in UK, so they stay away from official sites. If you are there for more economical reasons, then you usually avoid official sites as the police is known to visit these places and arrest illegal immigrants to send them back to their country of origin. Most countries do the same. France is to blame (they could provide temporary sites, where individuals can then decide if they want to be officially registered or not), as well as UK (why don't they allow potential refugees to cross and let them defend their case once in the UK, like most country do when they are not located on an island ?) and most of the western countries actually (most governments are playing with the "migrant" word so that their population will think that every foreigner coming is there only to take advantage of their benefits, not to seek refuge and safety). Banksy's intentions are not clear but my guess would be mostly to shed a light on a situation that has been ongoing for more than a decade, with a UK government claiming it is France's problem when actually it is everyone's problem... Seems to me quite similar to his trip to Gaza. There might not be an easy solution but there is for sure no solution if you pretend it doesn't exist or that it is someone else's problem... Just my thoughts.

Quality of recent releases, by sakyamuni on Oct 8, 2015 13:27:38 GMT 1, Some of the stuff being released is utter rubbish, but the thing that gets me is the price of new releases. If POW could sell dolk, banksy, insect, eine etc for £50 back in the day all screen printed, why should complete unknowns want £150/200 for crap they make at home... ok maybe made at home is cheap but It's not cheap to screen print in small quantities professionally. A sheet of somerset velvet will be a couple of quid depending on qty bought 2 tubs of ink can be £50 depending on colours/size 2 A1 positives printed can be around £30+ Added to that all the other bits and pieces, emulsion, screen wash, tape, newsprint, petrol to studio, hire costs, lots of wastage. That's without taking into account time coming up with the idea and man-hours to print it, creating the print ready artwork for positives, opaque pens and filler, tubes and acid free paper to post and many other things. Add to that if your paying a studio to print it for you they will charge for editioning, and retouching among other things. They would like to make some money out of it too if it takes so much to produce a few number then do it by hand, it will be more valuable and interesting

Quality of recent releases, by sakyamuni on Oct 8, 2015 12:18:07 GMT 1, Regarding prints it is true that I see more and more releases that I don't get but they seem to sell so why not... Shows are now about to start, oct-dec is always the big time for amazing staff and I am sure it will be the same this year. Brett amory's exhibition in NYC is just amazing, and with Moniker/Miami on the way, it should be spectacular as always (Sainer exhibition at thinkspace should be interesting...). I guess it is also a cycle, many artists that were popular here are now more establish, they are less interested in prints and hype, so there is less to talk about them. Just look at the Stik's release, 90% is about how much the prints should be sold, then what is the current value, what will it be in 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, does it affect the price of the previous print, what should be the price of the next release, etc... all very interesting... I don't think it has to do with the quality of the works produced at a certain time, but more about who is active on this forum, what they are willing to discuss and the reaction they get. Museum shows by Faile or Swoon just receive a few comments and pictures, and that's it. You like it or not, you're satisfied or disappointed but that's about it... For me the dilemma remains the same: where to find the money to get this amazing art that I see popping all the time...

Starting my collection, by sakyamuni on Oct 8, 2015 11:50:23 GMT 1, Not sure I can give advises but why not... Try to avoid mistakes although it is often the only way to understand that you were wrong... Try as much as you can to see the works of artists you like in galleries, it is often surprising to notice the difference between what you see on a computer and reality. You might love something you never enjoyed on the internet, and vice-versa. You will save money and make sure it is well spent... I don't think it is possible to buy only what will be on your wall, the more you learn about artists and the more you want to get some stuff from them. Make sure however that you buy them for the good reason. I sometimes frame something that stayed for years in a portfolio, and it makes me happy only if this is something I loved. Otherwise you just look at it as a waste of money and when you try to sell it, you usually fail. Most of the time, if you think something looks like shit, there's a great chance that others will think the same... Unless you're lucky that the guy has become famous and expensive, but it almost never happen... From my personal experience it takes quite a few years to understand what you really like, what you like to spend your money on, which galleries and artist you're willing to support, etc. So just relax, do what you think is right, even if most do differently. it's your money, your walls, so do as you like

FAILE Brooklyn Museum Show review in New York Times, by sakyamuni on Oct 7, 2015 15:46:02 GMT 1, I found this article interesting. As many street artist are now having exhibition in museums, I think it is fair that they are considered as artists exhibiting in a museum, whatever they have been doing in the streets or in the past. to me this is a very different way to view their work, taking into consideration things that we usually ignore (title of artworks or shows, etc). It raises some interesting questions on the meaning of this work and the aesthetic chosen. For me, and I guess for many here, my main point is usually "do I like it or not", is it better or worst than the previous show, is the street work translates well in a gallery, etc... The fact that he likes the show or not is not really important for me, it pushes me to have a different look at the work of artists I like, and that's quite positive in my view... Thanks for sharing the article

Stik Sleeping Baby, by sakyamuni on Oct 3, 2015 13:58:38 GMT 1, The absolute answer is an open edition print. The charity does well, the flippers do bad and art lovers get something for the wall. Only thing is that Stk seems to be quite carefully protecting his brand with small infrequent print releases. exactly. Just like Jeremy geddes did. his latest reached 1411 in 24 hours... that's a lot to sign but also a lot of money and happy people

Dale Marshall 🇬🇧 Vermin • New Paintings • Exhibition News, by sakyamuni on Oct 3, 2015 11:19:03 GMT 1, Surprising from Anno Domini, they were quite opened earlier, with prices on their website for all the other shows, including dale's previous exhibition with them. It was the same for the antique fair's pdf, artwork without prices. This is ridiculous... Anno Domini has always maintained the same type of pricing info, usually they offer to locals or customer base at the opening then they release to the public. I am sure if you emailed them they would release right away. But in the past they would always hold back prices and release after the opening. I don't want to argue about something not important, and disrupt this thread about the great work dale is producing, but this is not my experience with them. I have bought artworks from this gallery three times (always great service and really nothing to complain about cherri, she is always helpful), and I have always received a link with artworks and prices. Maybe it happens differently sometimes, but this one is a first for me. And again, as a customer's opinion, and that was the aim of my message, I repeat that I find ridiculous that you need to first ask a list of artworks, then for the price, and then what, if you are allowed to buy ? Any gallery doing business this way is wrong imo.

Stik Sleeping Baby, by sakyamuni on Sept 26, 2015 16:28:47 GMT 1, My guess would be easy sell up to 1.5k, may take a while to reach 2k or higher. As usual, what matters is not how much you want to sell but how much people are ready to pay for it...

Stik Sleeping Baby, by sakyamuni on Sept 25, 2015 14:42:28 GMT 1, After going thru this thread and seeing the insanity of this release I am more thankful than ever for these. Thanks again to a kind forum member who helped get these from the Dorian Grey Gallery release that's the good thing with Stik. He keeps releasing on a regular basis cheap and easy to get prints, so anyone can get something for their walls, whatever your budget. His limited prints are hard to get and insanely expensive now, but if what you want is a stik figure, you don't need to spend that much to get one. I wish more artists would do that (best example remains Jeremy geddes with his time-limited releases offering great prints at very reasonable prices).

Stik Sleeping Baby, by sakyamuni on Sept 21, 2015 14:53:56 GMT 1, PRESS RELEASE- STIK CHARITY PRINT RELEASE: THURSDAY 24TH SEPTEMBER 2015 5-8pm EAST LONDON Street Artist Stik to raise £50,000 for NHS hospital
International Street Artist Stik is known across the globe from New York to Tokyo and his work hangs in some of the world’s most prestigious collections but his latest print ‘Sleeping Baby’ is being launched in his local NHS hospital.
All proceeds will go to the Homerton Hospital Regional Neurological Rehabilitation Unit (RNRU) Creative Media Room. The Trust offers long stay patients with acquired and traumatic brain injuries the chance to explore interactive art workshops as part of their rehabilitation and recovery.
