Banksy Stencil Removed After Complaints Of Racism
Banksy has struck again – but a council in the east of England has struck back, removing his artwork that it said contained “offensive and racist remarks”.
The work showed five grey pigeons holding up signs including one stating “go back to Africa” towards a more colourful migratory swallow. One of the pigeons’ signs read “migrants not welcome”, while another held a placard that read “keep off our worms”. Ukip argues that Britain’s immigration policies are too lax.
It has been suggested that the council did not realise that Banksy was responsible for the work before scrubbing it off the wall. Other pieces he has painted have been valued in six figures.

Banksy – Webby Awards Video
Un video despre perioada de sederea lui Banksy in New York in octombrie 2013 si cum lucrarile lui au fost primite de catre americani.
Banksy + Justin Bieber
Hey ghici cine si-a facut tatuaj cu lucrarea lui Banksy “Girl with a Baloon”. Da, chiar el, unicul si al dreacului Iustin Bibăr (Justin Bieber). Probabil din cauza ca este un adevarat connoisseur al artelor stradale, si cum sa dovedeasca acest lucru cel mai bine, decat prin realizarea unui tatuaj cu unul dintre cel mai popular sablon de la Banksy, scriu popular pentru ca s-a vandut cel mai mult sub forma de carcase de telefon, mousepad-uri, tricouri si magneti de frigider. Regretam totusi faptul ca tanarul Iustin nu si-a tatuat ACEST faimos sablon al lui Banksy, de preferat pe frunte, ca un connoisseur adevarat ce este.
Oricum, cine zice ca poza nu este un fals marca Banksy, deoarece doar o poza exista care se gaseste la Banksy pe Instagram, iar faptul ca are un Instagram si o pagina de Facebook oficial verificata, imi spune ca are nevoie de atentie.
Saracul Banksy!
You Are Not Banksy
“…
Stern, a photojournalist who splits his time between L.A. and his native England, gave us insight into the series that won us over so quickly, “You Are Not Banksy” His satisfyingly precise real life versions of Banksy’s flower chucker, Mona Lisa with rocket-propelled grenade, kissing bobbies, etc., all of which we’d stared at in awe of every careful detail, came about after a parallel amount of attention to: “2 or 3 months of scouring eBay and Army and Navy shops,” Stern told the Huffington Post. “I wanted to see how possible it is to recreate [Banksy's work] as three-dimensional photographs. I found out it’s quite difficult.”
Stern got the idea for the series while directing a photo shoot for an actor friend of his. It was summery out, and Stern wanted to do a portrait inspired by last summer’s London riots. After styling his friend to look like Banksy’s famous image of a man throwing a flower pot instead of a petrol bomb, Stern realized he was onto something.

Banksy stencil removed, offerd for sale for $500.000
During the Jubilee, someone — probably Banksy — posted a graffiti mural on the side of a Poundland discount shop depicting a child working in a sweatshop sewing bunting with the Union flag on it. The mural attracted great attention in Wood Green, the district of London where it appeared, and local councillors took steps to ensure that it was not removed or painted over by overzealous city workers.
Then, one day, it disappeared. And reappeared in the catalog of Fine Art Auctions in Miami, with an asking price of $500,000. The auction house (which hasn’t returned any press calls on the work) claims that it got the Banksy (or “Banksy”) from a collector who assured them that it had been acquired through legal means. The Poundland shop says it had nothing to do with flogging the piece, and no one can get the building’s owner on the phone.
Meanwhile, a piece of freely given art that decries capitalism and exploitation has been removed from the neighbourhood that was so proud of it, and is up for sale for half a million dollars in America.

Filmul de Joi la Carol 53 : EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP
Obiceiul de a filma absolut tot ce vede al lui Thierry Guetta, un imigrant francez din Los Angeles, il conduce spre descoperirea unei laturi interesante a vietii de noapte. Vandalism sau arta stradala? Aceasta este intrebarea al carei raspuns incearca Thierry sa-l afle. Dupa cateva luni petrecute cu artistii stradali, maestrii intr-ale graffiti-ului, pe care ii filmeaza pentru a face un documentar, tanarul francez se imprieteneste in cele din urma cu unul dintre cei mai controversati si enigmatici artisti – Bansky. Din acest punct camera se muta din mana lui in mana noului sau prieten, Thierry devenind astfel noul protagonist al filmului. Cuprins de febra artei stradale, incepe sa ii imite pe oamenii pe care pana atunci doar ii urmarea atent si ajunge intr-un punct critic in care isi gireaza casa si afacerea pentru organizarea unui spectacol de arta major, organizat in LA.
Joi (28 februarie) la Carol 53 de la 20:00.
