King Robbo v Banksy

[Boss Hog]

Anyone watch this a couple of nights ago? Was really interesting and a bit shocking towards the end, although I understand from Robbo's facebook page that he is now out of ICU.

Worth a watch if you missed it.... Graffiti Wars - Channel 4

I saw it, and was amazed at the status Banksy now has. I knew he was popular but I never knew they were protecting his works with perspex and even repairing them'.

It was interesting to see how much of a divide there is between graffiti and street art.

[Tony Hardy]

I didn't see this but has anyone seen Exit Through The Gift Shop?

[Paul Murray]

I saw that too, quite interesting, and frankly absurd that people would pay such amounts for work from a nobody, most of which I suspect was still drying.

Just goes to show the power a good endorsement can have.

There's a whole debate though, is Mr Brainwash real? Or, is the film a fictional Banksy set up? lol.

[Paul Murray]

Really? I don't think I could make someone like Tierry up :P

[Tony Hardy]

haha yeah, people aren't sure if he's real or not :)

[Paul Murray]

Come to the think of it, the name Mr Brainwash is a little questionable, almost like it's suggesting we're brainwashed in to believing he's real.

[CYoung]

Almost certain that brainwash is essentially banksy showing how absurd people can be when it comes to buying art. I'm almost 100%...90% lol

[Tony Hardy]

Yeah, I think it's a fake documentary as well :) Very good nonetheless.
