Banksy C/D

the whole thing could have been better if he passed around cards saying he was donating 100% of the proceeds to the heritage foundation or something. about as politically relevant as a junior high kid stenciling anarchy symbols on his trapper keeper, but then again BRAD PITT!!!!!!

I'm pondering the noun choice there.

(I have nothing to say about Banksy.)

And HI DERE IMFH.

On the whole, I liked it. It's like a good issue of Mad Magazine. However it didn't help having a mob of idiots hollering out "OOOOH... SATIRE!" every second.

Overall I suppose he's more good than bad, but I feel like his stylishness suggests an unwitting buying into the culture he's supposedly rejecting.

However it didn't help having a mob of idiots hollering out "OOOOH... SATIRE!" every second.

Chris, that was probably me. Actually, I was saying that when I have a gallery show that I will throw feces at a fan to let people know that "the sh*t is hitting the fan." I will also ride into the gallery on a very high horse. Then I will ascend an actual ivory tower which I will invite Banksy to deface.

no, after the chapman brothers did it to those goya etchings, your friend will be called a biter 8)

am not sure banksy translates too well, either into american or from street grafitti to art gallery.

> Little cards were passed out with a picture of a starving child which included that line followed by: "*20* billion people live below the poverty line."

the full thing (from the guardian) is "There's an elephant in the room. There's a problem we never talk about. The fact is that life isn't getting any fairer. 1.7 billion people have no access to clean drinking water. 20 billion people live below the poverty line. Every day hundreds of people are made to physically be sick by morons at art shows telling them how bad the world is but never actually doing something about it. Anybody want a free glass of wine?" which is an entirely different thing.

Which thread is this?

Link plz

PARIS HILTON - PARIS

Everyone: "Yeah, we know!"

Anyway, the elephant in the room thing is LAME LAME LAME not only for the Do You See???? aspect but also because IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS "NO ONE TALKING ABOUT POVERTY?"

everyone: o rly?

Sorry, I'll get my coat.

"the lex meltdown one". That narrows it down plenty, doesn't it? Har.

NOT TRUE! total world population is about 6.5 billion right now.

That's Robert Del Naja, no?

he's wearing coloured contact lenses if it is

Also, he's described as a "young man"... Del Naja was 38 in 2003.

"Banksy’s people were unimpressed.."

he's so damn hip and from the streets that he doesn't have a PR team or whatever famous ppl usually have .. he has "his people".

another fucking waste of an expensive public school education.

His manager Holly is Peter Cushing’s niece.

Let's settle this

Let's settle this once and for all, what is the true identity of #Banksy - I mean obviously it's #NigelRees

Massive Attack played a show in DC same day

Wow never thought banksy would actually kill to protect his secret, a chilling development

Funny, I never thought banksy had anything worthwhile to share with the world, including their real name.

he's done it again

A new Banksy artwork has appeared at Southampton General Hospital.

The largely monochrome painting, which is one square metre, was hung in collaboration with the hospital's managers in a foyer near the emergency department.

It shows a young boy kneeling by a wastepaper basket dressed in dungarees and a T-shirt.

He has discarded his Spiderman and Batman model figures in favour of a new favourite action hero - an NHS nurse.

I have been biting my lip as seemingly everyone shares this this week, sure this is a safe space to complain about it though.

such trite fucking shit

totally apolitical as well

fp'd banksy for this one

Banky is a cunt I heard the other day

thing is even if he was in normal trenchant social commentary banksy mode it would have been still shit!

i.e. if the little boy was boris johnson and the action figure in the bucket was winston churchill

Boris jerking off in ICU with a copy of Razzle next to a mountain of Tiny Tim corpses. I'm doing his job for him here

careful calz you'll get a turner prize at this rate

You should send that idea to Jim'll Paint It.

Is banky aware that only nurses in pornography wear big red crosses on their uniforms

Banky is not aware of anything that happens on Earth

such trite fucking shit

From Banksy? Surely not?

There's a continuum with "trenchant & simplistic but basically on the right side so guess we should let it slide" on one end and this fucking thing on the other.

So glad I no longer have to walk past at least 4 of this turd's Jamie Reid meets whoever the fuck designed Ninja Tunes album covers horseshit on my way to and from work.

I mean, I won’t bemoan the sentiment, but Banksy continually cementing himself as the Gen X Thomas Kinkade.

I will bemoan the sentiment, nurses shouldn't be expected to be heroes, they are just people doing a job which only has this level of risk because the government hasn't provided them with adequate PPE. Making out like they are all selfless warriors only makes it less of a scandal when they die.

Yeah I mean I’m not saying it isn’t stupid and confused.

"Banksy’s latest artwork can be spotted on a vessel rescuing refugees from north Africa, who are attempting to cross the Mediterranean to find safety in Europe."

"The anonymous British artist [] used the proceeds from the sale of an artwork to purchase a former French Navy boat"

Fucking new Banky in Nottingham, some twee bullshit appears while we've got a serious second wave. Shout out to the champs who graffitied over it.

The people who paint over his shit are the real Bankys

They sent out police to protect it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

lol fight the power

the hula hoop is covid and we are trapped within it, do u see?

Ahhhhhhhh!

Banky is a cop

But like a sound one, who would totally do a gay kiss, for a dare like
