It's crazy to see how many reactions this guy gets, you have the people that love it, the ones that hate it and then, the passive aggressive crowd on their high horse, talking about how good it was before he was "known" but now, no matter what he does, it won't be cool because "everyone" knows about him and that pisses them off.
In the and, good art is about getting a reaction from people, negative or positive, so in some sense, those that hate on his work have equal interest / reaction to those who love it.
- a fine point. i don't get how the pic relates though?sarahfailin
- I googled: "Passive Aggressive" and that photo came up hahahaMiguex

- If someone does not like Banky's art, messaging, branding they are a hater?utopian
- Donald Trump says the same thing about people who think that he is an "ass clown" he calls them haters.utopian
- No hate, he doesn't exist, and he hates capitalism. And he hates the art market. But HE'S okayfadein11

Everything that is produced by Banksy makes it on here: a tiny design forum. Imagine the amount of talk that goes on at the other billion forums and media outlets?
Doesn't matter if you love or hate Banksy. It's definitely art.

It might not be apparent to some of his overseas fans but having grown up in one, the decline of UK seaside towns is surely part of Banksy's schtick with this one.
I knew that would sound patronising.
- thanks for the insight.docpoz
- most UK seaside towns are booming at the moment - the good ones. Weston has always been a dump.fadein11
- ^we agree on something!hans_glib
- which is why dismaland is so perfect for it.hans_glib

Why is this thing?
If you’re the kind of person who feels jaded by the over-corporate blandness that passes for family light entertainment, then this is the bespoke leisure opportunity that will connect with your core brand dynamic. It doesn’t so much ask the question, “What is the point in art now?” as ask, “What is the point in asking, ‘What is the point in art now?’”

Brilliant
- Have you been?fadein11
- Did you eat paint chips as a kid? There's more than enough imagery, videos, and commentary to get a great sense for the work.kona
- I've never been to Ireland but I know it's incredibly beautiful from the same bits of info above.kona
- Cool. Was just asking if you'd been.fadein11
- I don't believe you were judging by your comments throughout the thread.kona
