"The organisers have said Cameron Diaz, Colin Farrell and Orlando Bloom are all expected to attend."
see the thing with banksy is, he is unashamedly a self promoting, hypocrit really, which is funny. Having been to several of his previous shows I wouldn't really be interested to attend, purely because his work is largely poorly crafted and looks wrong out of context. Plus, his shows basically aren't very good, the joy was always the stencils in sneaky places that would just creep up on you.
Someone like Barry McGee who has a much more active history as an actual graffiti artist, much stronger grass roots within the 'real' scene, who actually creates work which is beautifully painted and puts on amazing conceptual installation shows is much more my cup of tea, and while he is extremely successful and in demand, he has managed to 'keep it real'
Barry McGee basically owns.
