I wish I didnt know about him and stumbeled on one of these things.. specially this one. i would probably try to convince myself that cavemen had some sort of primative shopping cart. For a few days my view on modern shopping and markets would be heavily changed.

its just this thing that a lot of urban artists have with consumerism... every one trys to be so counter culture anti-capitolist, etc. when alot of these types are one of advertising's most cherished targets and biggest spenders.
Not so much Banksy but the whole "urban art/music movement" or whatever.
Hiphop when it was a real political movement lured all these people into what is now a big ass shopping mall of excess.

Whats so great about him? The attention he gets is because of the thing he does, surely its not because of his work itself... Seriously, does any of you favor any of his work, have anyone of you seen more than the 3-4 pieces usually pictured in online news articles?

I was laughing at your first post dude, the one about the primitive shopping cart. Relax...

He's done some amazing stencils/exhibitions/paintings. Although I'm sure he's done some shit as well.

I want to dislike Banksy (it's a fairly typical British reaction) but every time I find one of his pieces around london, it makes me smile and think - why the fuck don't I get off my arse and do things like that?
HR: I think the point is that he is actually DOING SOMETHING. Are you?

Im not crazy about his artwork...
but his posting stuff in museum collections is brilliant. People that see his stuff and process it alng with the other items on display... the experience for them is the art u know? Thats all art really is in the end, the viewers experience.
Seeing that rock blending in with other stuff would make people think.. Meusems have such credibility that u don't normally question what u see as being for real or not.

word on that, spongebob.

For how long do you think he can keep doing it? Say how brilliant would it be after the 10th time?

banksey is constantly switching mediums..so the whole museum concept will not go on and on....

he is like a street political cartoonist.
