BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Whitefish on Dec 10, 2015 4:40:52 GMT 1, Not sure if this has been posted yet ,So....
Dismaland - The Stewards Story :
I worked as a steward at Dismaland and after it finished i thought it'd be interesting for others to find out about the process etc. All content used is purely for educational purposes, I do not own the rights to any of the music or the archive footage from Dismaland at the start.
The crusty not happy about the VIP's ? The dude with dreads looks all too familiar. I remember seeing him in Exit Though The Gift Shop very briefly. He was the guy dressed in the bunny costume. Make sure you pay attention when he removes his bunny head. Could this just be a coincidence???

Something for the Dismonauts to ponder.
A disgruntled employee or a stoolie playing a disgruntled employee to find out if other employees are saying disgrunting stuff?
In reality there is not much difference between Banksy and Disney.
Both make the staff perform to a script.
Everything is designed by head office.
Both make an attraction to amuse and to make money for profit.
Both pander to VIP's too.
Both bring trade to local businesses.

Only VIPs think of themselves as VIPs. indeedy, even if they dont want it.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Cornish Crayon on Dec 13, 2015 19:17:10 GMT 1, Is it just me that bought more than one type of tshirt, then realised......
The castle one has "Dismaland" written on it
Then when I bought the other one as a cheapy on last day noticed it had "Dismal land" written on it. (Thus having two L's)
Just saying, no worries (still)

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by saucyjack on Dec 13, 2015 19:35:49 GMT 1, If there was a VIP only area of Dismaland (which I've heard reported here and elsewhere) featuring Banksy work to enjoy and perhaps purchase, than that is just disgraceful and hypocritical of Banksy.
A gift print for workers is understandable. VIP only art galleries are not.
(Again, if they actually existed.)

I'm sure I spotted some kind of printed staff site map on one of the walls in dismaland that included a vip upstairs gallery or something along those lines.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by saucyjack on Dec 13, 2015 20:04:30 GMT 1, I've heard that before. I've also seen pictures of these supposed proofs for sale; though those pictures could easily have been faked with Photoshop or some other program.
This why I am still skeptical.
Regardless, if true, what a shame. Did he not make enough from ticket/merchandise sales to fund his other, more philanthropic projects?

Banksy still sells prints every december... But if you have to ask then you are already late.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Lroy on Dec 13, 2015 20:41:06 GMT 1, I've heard these rumors many times as well, that doesn't mean I believe them. it is not rumors, some special edition ( bear 100 ) have gone for more than 30 k the first day. It is not with tickets and goodies that Banksy has paid Dismaland lol .. Anyway , he had to pay his staff, insurance etc .. It was a big show.. Some vip will receive as each year a little gift - for free ?- I guess !:-)

Here, as me - I am honest I guess , not hypocrite -, each caresses the master (or the big Tomcat :-) in the direction of the hair, all the time. Here we wake up a bit ! Great !

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by saucyjack on Dec 13, 2015 21:20:22 GMT 1, Please don't misunderstand. I don't covet Banksy's work. He street work is (mostly) spot on. His print work doesn't do anything for me. Special VIP's spending tens of thousands of cash on his signature are welcome to. Having a VIP gallery section of Dismaland (if it existed) is where I have the problem.
It's like saying:
"You lot are good enough to viewmy work. You lot are not. Carry on to the Josh Keyes."

I think you have misunderstood as there was no vip room in the sense you are suggesting. There was a traditional green room or in this case red, which is to be expected given the undertaking. It served predominantly as a spot of refuge for artists and those throwing the whole bash to escape the madness that was dismaland. It's been well documented on these threads and there was work from many of the artists in the show to liven up their backstage space. You may believe they should have had a concrete cell with no windows to blow up balloons and fish stick giveaways but I'd suggest there are much better causes for your outrage.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by saucyjack on Dec 13, 2015 23:57:05 GMT 1, So Lee3, if you re-read my posts, you'll see that I have been questioning the existence of this supposed VIP gallery. If it never existed, I'm not outraged. But, I'm sure you'll remember that many people on this very thread have stated there was one. Even in the last 24 hrs.
Your post is the first to clarify what it may have been, a backstage staging area.
As for your cute little quip about concrete cells without windows, I got a chuckle out it. No need to be so defensive, mate.

If it was 30k for a signed GWB then that's a bargain.
