Banksy C/D

*not actual decades but a very very long time.

He’d have to be in the room for a tv remote or car fob to work, so I guess it’d have to be a modified cell phone device inside. Imagine B sitting at home watching the auction online and then sending that text when it sold

The auction house said on the day they had detained someone they suspected of being involved in tampering with sale and using "a device" during the auction.

New “directors cut” of the shredding video suggests that B was in the room and that the work was meant to shred completely and not stop midway

bungly more like

I mean once this guy’s cover is blown (which he seems to be willingly creeping closer to) the excitement is kind of over right

He becomes “just another” talented street artist

i imagine he's bored out of his mind

it doesn't come across in his work

He’s better than the guy who tags “petco” all over the place

small differences

I feel like i see “petco” spraypainted somewhere every tome i turn around. It never goes beyong the word. petco.

petco

Someone has sprayed "Jesus Saves..." on apparently every street corner in Cambridge. I have started wondering about the ellipsis, is there a punchline I'm supposed to be adding here? I'm sure there was something along these lines in one of those Nigel Rees books.

Relevant of course because Banksy is Nigel Rees

if somebody started doing parody versions of Banksy, nobody would tell the difference.. aaargh... I've just been tethered to an evil balloon that has a benign smiley face on one side and is labelled "capitalism (very bad)" on the other, and it's taking me away.. Oh at least now I understand the complex dualism of his imagery and was made to think.

it was an old painting... his stuff did resonate in the 00s... also I thought Bansky's identity was already uncovered? even if it shredded all the way it still would've doubled in value or whatever. Banksy is smart enough to anticipate that right?

The correct punchline for "Jesus Saves..." is "But (insert footballer of your choice) scores from the rebound"

See also Banky's seminal work "Philosophy degrees: Please take one"

back when he was still good bungly would have placed a text to be revealed behind the painting being destroyed viz: "the shredder is capitalism DO YOU SEE and so is the shredder not working properly DO YOU ALSO SEE"

if he had got his NVQ level II diploma in trenchant social commentary he wouldn't do stuff like that. but trust fund brats don't need college when are born with Street Knowledge!

I'm struggling to think of undiluted instances of anti-capitalist art aimed at a mass audience.

all Art is anti-capitalist DO YOU SEE?

i now have "Banky" to the tune of "Mumfie" stuck in my head

im béyonky

our very own D4n L4c3Y's brilliant pancake work is so cheap it's basically anti-capitalist amirite?

meh..more like Minuscule Attack .. is that a fly landing on my arm.

unfinished shred funny

i like all the post-its on the pancakes, each no doubt with its own trenchant motto

if this was a parody of a Bansky piece it would actually be funny as fuck!

i still maintain there was for a while something new and interesting in london about graffiti that was so undistortedly figurative: actually there's a kind of hauntology to it lol, this ever-so-slightly impressionist black-and-white photorealism that reminds you of the illustrations in ladybird books or look and learn, a bygone style redolent of a vanished political dream project -- there alongside the scribbles of tagging and jazzily high-colour stylised cartoon murals and of course half-torn-down billboards in semi-rundown city areas on the sides of yet-to-be developed properties. it wasn't deep especially, but it was a nice surprise -- a tiny little free oasis of cultural joy at the time. but the context and the serendipity were fun

a bit like the project someone undertook for a while of painting potatoes various colours and sticking cocktail sticks in them so they wouldn't roll off, and throwing them up onto the roofs of bus-stops. that was nice too, because you only saw them as you were gazing round idly on the top floor of a bus and it was like a weird little present just for you

but he got bored and hence boring years back -- like a lot of batch craftspeople never found a way out of his first hit run, really
