Banksy C/D

This was a storyline in Season 2 of Bojack Horseman. (Which I literally just watched the other night. Timely!)

It's easy to mock this kind of thing

Because it's shit

^this, zip it mencap lol

I apologize for my half-hearted critique - it was the equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel. I just don't understand why anyone older than 13 thinks this is good. The sentiments are so tired - ideas that stopped being even clever in the late 1950s. I don't even feel like a critic here - just pointing out the overwhelmingly obvious.

All that said, I kind of like the way the police van looks and I actually really like the warped Murakami-esque Ariel especially if it were out of the Dismaland context.

Yeah, I was about 13 when this album came out, and I was like "come on Jello, really?"

there's some david shrigley in there which id be interested in seeing. apparently some sort of amusement were the goal is to tip over an anvil (im assuming that that won't be possible).

yeh i am fond of Shrigley too but he doesn't need to walk any closer to the "do you see?" boundary than he already does imo

Rejected thread idea: punk album covers that degrade Disneyland.

this isn't a half-hearted critique, it isn't a critique period.

like why are you apologizing since you are obviously not sorry that your posts itt are like the informational equivalent of how everyone on the planet has to take a shit every day.

it's ok for other people to not like something that you do. grow up.

do shut the fuck up

people sure are concerned about whether or not other people are adults in here!

banksy criticism is like the art world's equivalent of "lol nickelback": done to death, cliché, and as facile as banksy's critics think his work is (i'm one of them).

im sure jonathan jones has written a scathing review of dismaland in the graun which i will never, ever, ever read

maybe if you got a mattress you wouldn't be such a grouchy miserable shithead

still no ideas mentioned so far, just how cliché they are

people people! This squabbling is exactly what Banksy wants, don't you see ?

nm jim i misread you

folk saying they'd arch smug twat style attempt to like some obvious risible shit because other folk are not disliking it intelligently enough = xo==

nickelback don't make music anymore.

Aye they do

Some brilliant new ideas from the folks saying that bashing this hackneyed crap is cliched.

There's a link up there from Enrique with Charlie Brooker criticising Banksy, it's essentially what I think of him. Oh and I also think using an elephant in a gallery show is totally shite (because I believe in animal rigjts). But I have to admit that hoho Banksy is shit is not a very interesting response. I think I've mellowed in my older age and just tend to ignore art that I dislike, rather than feeling the need to make sure everyone who somehow likes it knows they're wrong.

That's also a boring opinion tho obv

Boring art breeding boring opinions.

banksy, new subway sandwich pitchman

um have any of you even seen the dismaland pictures? http://imgur.com/gallery/KfJ4X

according to the link posted upthread it features work from 58 artists, with 10 new pieces by banksy. the comments on this thread suggest it's banksy's work (and also suggest that it's way more self-serious than it actually is. almost everything i've seen of it is just humorous if anything)

id like one of those i am an imbecile david shrigley balloons.

i think people are responding to the fact that it's curated by banksy and the overarching theme is consistent with his work which they really dislike.

im kind of with jed in that im impressed with the scale of the project, the secrecy of its execution.

i'm baffled as to how it was done in secret! like the one with the trucks piled up on each other to make a giant truck robot thing? how is not installed without really heavy machinery?

The name is a play on Disneyland, but Banksy insisted the show was not a swipe at Mickey and co. “I banned any imagery of Mickey Mouse from the site,” he said.

This quote printed right next to an image of The Little Mermaid.

In one tent would-be anarchists can find out how to unlock the Adshel posters seen at bus stops. For £5 people can buy the tools to break into them, replacing the official posters with any propaganda they please. Is it legal? “It’s not illegal,” said the vendor.

Anarchy can be yours for only 5 dollars!

That amounts to just over £400,000, so it is difficult to see a great profit given the obvious expenses.

Yeah, I'm sure all the art will be destroyed immediately after the show and not sold at art auctions using this publicity to inflate their value.

Demand for tickets is expected to be wildly high. A Banksy show at Bristol city museum in 2009 attracted more than 300,000 visitors over 12 weeks and was estimated to have generated £10m for the local economy.

Yay fight the power.

― 1994 ball boy (Karl Malone)

they blocked off the view of the site and claimed that it was being used as a film set, which would be a realistic enough excuse for heavy machinery and lots of materials being brought in.

“When you paint illegally you have so much to contend with – cameras, cops, Neighbourhood Watch, drunk people throwing bottles at your head – so adding ‘predatory art speculators’ to the mix just makes it even harder. Graffiti is an important and valid art form. It would be a shame if it was killed by venture capitalism.”

FUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUU

Yay fight the power.

Generating money for a museum and the local economy, what an appalling capitalist. Petrol bomb the lot or gtfo.

i've been puzzled to see a few people i kinda like sharing this approvingly, is the world coming around to banksyisms?

Seems very much akin to the Simpsons intro.

Don't see why this would make anybody angry. It's basically just a pop-up art gallery. Will probably never have a problem with the guy ever since I read that homeless guy living in a water tank in the Hollywood hills story. Banksy seems pretty chill and cool. At least it's more playful than the pseudo-dada shit Hirst churns out.

The two twisted tanker trucks piece, btw, is called Big Rig Jig and was first installed at Burning Man in 2007, and later showed up at Coachella. I wonder how much it costs to ship and install that.
