went and checked this out on saturday. I didnt realise the hundred or so rats would be actually running freely round the gallery and nibbling at my shoes.
the show was pretty cool, but we were only alowed in the space for 4 minutes. not really long enough to see everything in detail...even though its a tiny space.

Everybody on here is getting paid to make things, mainstream or otherwise, look good. So does he. So does hecox. So does Kinsey. So does anyone we know...
And any of us fools would jump to have a bustling London gallery opening.
But most of us don't have the balls to run around painting the city.
Art is Art is Art. We all get paid
Let Banksy have his recognition.
\Even if he's wearing a mask.

i still think he's a great artist.
who cares if he's done a cover for blur.
that probably paid for the trip to the west bank. good on him.

Yeah and doing a Blur album cover is hardly the height of underground culture is it?
He'll be on Richard & Judy next.

"when he did the Zionist security wall on the west bank, that was best. Very witty."
true, the work itself was very good indeed. just wish a Palestinian artist had done it instead of some fashionable north londoner artist on "the ultimate activity holiday destination for graffiti writers".

I think Banksy has become a bit of a parody of himself. When he starts getting write -ups in the Guardian its all gone a bit far hasn't it?

nope, but I'm going to check out the show this weekend.
looks fantastic.
