If you think graffiti is art, fine, host an art show and rip a bunch of people off to make some money, but don't go around vandalizing the public/private property of others.

Exit Through the Gift Shop
Exit Through the Gift Shop is a documentary on a very interesting but controversial topic: street graffiti. Many consider graffiti a form of artistic expression that deserves respect and admiration, while others dismiss it as vandalism. Banksy is a very skilled graffiti artist who often combines dark humor into his work.

I completely agree with you where they shouldn't go around vandalizing public/private property. They could easily get their point across in a legal manner.
ReplyDeletei disagree, its obvious that this is an emotional response to the topic of graffiti. At this point Banksy could open an art shop and sell his work everywhere but he doesnt. Why? because that takes the meaning out of what hes doing. I understand that its defacing property but that doesnt strip the legitamacy of the art. Obviously if this many people support banksy in the path hes chosen it wouldnt be a rip off either.
