Banksy : Wall My Presidents
“Totul este gandit sa fie un amestec intre lucrarile carnatului de Banksy si presedintii Romaniei din ultimii 20 de ani. Formula este simpla, iei niste stenciluri de la carnatul ala si niste portrete a celor care au avut Romania in grija cativa ani, le arunci intre doua coperti si gata, iti iese Banksy: Wall My Presidents, o carticica care include lucrarile faimoase a lui Bencsi si ceea ce ne place sa ne luam si sa criticam mereu, fostii presedinti ai acestei minunate tari (si ca bonus, incredibil, o sa apara si actualul presedinte, mare grija)”

Banksy : The Bristol Legacy
“One of the contributors in the book talks about putting plate glass over this artwork, of listing it, of making sure it’s preserved, which flies in the face of what street art is, which is meant to be radical, temporary, interventionist, not something permanent. That’s quite an interesting challenge and I think the City of Bristol is starting to wrestle with that one.”
Banksy : Myths & Legends
“For me these stories illustrate the incredible audacity, originality and sheer bloody mindedness of Banksy. Obviously he will be best remembered for his art and exposing the hypocrisy and dumbness of our modern lives. The myths will be viewed as a distraction to some or part of the appeal for others. One thing is certain, the art and the myths are both larger than life and stick two fingers up at conformity. This book is a celebration of that anarchic, rebellious spirit.”
