BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by quexzea on Sept 8, 2015 2:52:03 GMT 1, I'm sure it's been brought up, but I missed it - who do you speculate are the two artist that turned Banksy down for Dismaland?
I like to dream that it was Tracey Emin and Ai WeiWei. Also, I wish Miss Bugs was involved...
I know I don't have a high post count but I am around all the same ;-)

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by coller on Sept 8, 2015 3:10:32 GMT 1, Not sure if this was posted, but I found it interesting. Interview with Brock Davis, one of the artists featured. Apparently the artists never met Banksy and only corresponded through e-mail.
"Q: Did you meet him?
A: We did not meet him. The best relationship myself and the other artists had was through his email correspondence, which actually is very good. He seems like an extremely charming person through email. The other thing is: His crew is a really great crew. And I always feel thatโฆthat the quality of a person can really come through the people that they surround themselves with. And if heโs like his crew, then heโs a pretty cool dude that I wish I had been able to meet."

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Lroy on Sept 8, 2015 7:12:48 GMT 1, How many people are flogging DFace American Depress cards on eBay saying they are from Dismaland?! There's a listing for two cards for ยฃ350....I've messaged the seller and they said they got them from Dismaland on the 29th. I just hope people don't get suckered in! Even if they were from Dismaland and were cleverly hidden....ยฃ350?! Really?! Shut the front door! it is not the worth : we all know that selling on eBay needs keywords as Banksy Faile Invader ... Now there is Dismaland ... If people think that he found it in Dismaland , what can we do ?... 350 ?! Ffs, I should sell mine ! Where is it ? In my Dismalbox ? Tonite I will sell

Good call with Ai Weiwei. But I think I'll suggest Blu and Os Gemeos.

While Gemeos are obviously tight with him I don't think their imagery fits with the Dismaland theme or feel. I do think someone like Harland Miller would have fit right in though.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Dr Plip on Sept 8, 2015 7:54:14 GMT 1, Well now he's taking the proverbial piss. "YOU ARE BIDDING FOR A TRAFFIC CONE WITH A BANKSY LOGO SPRAYED ON AND SOMETHING ELSE LOOKS LIKE SY OR SJ, WE CAME ACROSS THIS ON SATURDAY NIGHT WAS ON A STAG IN WESTERN SUPER MARE AND THIS ENDED UP IN OUR MINI BUS NOT FAR FROM BANKSY'S DISMALAND.ITS A 75 CM TALL ONE" And his location for this item is now listed as WESTERN and not Cardiff, so he's moving about a bit. Or just reading this forum. YOU'RE. TAKING. THE. PISS. So far, you've sold some "mystery" defaced dollar bills, stamped Dismaland, which were handed to you by a mysterious stranger. You've bought a sprayed canvas from the Dismaland gift shop, that nobody else on the planet has seen or reported. Now you've found a traffic cone with "Banksy" stencilled on it while out on a stag night in Western Super Mare. I'm calling bulls**t on this. I wish the parasites would f**k off with this fake s**t. Grr! *shakes fist Keep reporting the item as counterfeit, if enough people do it, it will get removed, that will upset their evening. Or we start one of those viral campaign's that no one is to buy second hand Barbies, let's put the Tw#t out of business. Grrrr...shaking my fist's too Y'know how that seller has sold those mystery dollar bills, stamped with the Dismaland logo. And now a canvas (that's currently been bid over ยฃ300), also stamped on the side with the Dismaland logo.
Well he's had some interesting feedback recently. I wonder what kind of stamp he purchased?

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Dr Plip on Sept 8, 2015 9:36:12 GMT 1, What about these ยฃ10 notes with the Dismaland stamp? A few people are claiming that they received them in their change from the gift shop. I could believe that, as the stamp is like the one they used to stamp your wrist on entry. I can't say for certain though. But it's far too easy to get a rubber stamp made with the logo on it. If people start seeing stamped tenners selling for a profit, they'll just start knocking them out.

This week sees the opening of the DSEI Arms Fair (the worldโs largest arms fair held every two years in Londonโs Docklands). To commemorate the occasion Dismalandโs museum curator Dr. Gavin Grindon alongside the #RiotID project have produced a guide for tracking the manufacturers of weapons used against public protest (the tear gas used against pro-democracy protests in Egypt in 2011 and Hong Kong in 2014 was made in Derby). These are available in the park from today, but obviously are of limited use in Weston super-Mare so weโre asking anyone who might find this helpful to disperse the PDF below. It also comes in Arabicโฆ Download PDF here โ Download Arabic PDF here

While we were queuing to get in the Cruel bus on Sun the girl from the Duck In A Muck Stand (My nemesis ha) was writing notes and throwing them at people. Couple I saw were "Fuck You" and "Suck Your Mum" Think she might get employee of the month.
Also my prize from the Anvil game was a Ping pong ball with "Hitlers Missing Ball" written on it.

It's a policy that I've discussed with family and friends. It's difficult to argue against from a philosophical perspective. It wouldn't stamp out inequality as there will still be people with privileged upbringings. But it would be a huge leap towards equality. One would hope for a benign government to spend the income recieved for the equal benefit of all. There would need to be some sort of trust arrangement for people who die with dependants such as children. But it does resolve the gross unfairness of one person inheriting millions and another nothing, by reason of the birth lottery.

I've no idea... I do wonder though where some of the usual POW artists are? Eine, Invader, Ian Stevenson (generally in these group shows), Dran, etc. Did they have other things on, or was it a conscious decision to not make it another POW group show / Santas Ghetto type thing?

If inheritance tax is stopped, or greatly reduced, this will regularly take a large amount of people out of the working population who have more than enough; people who are generally more skilled and qualified. It cannot afford to do this both in terms of losing the money they generate or losing skilled workers.

Hi mate. The suggestion is that inheritance is scrapped, not inheritance tax.
I would put in a clause that allows art to pass to the next generationย The system relies on people to work, to generate wealth for itself and ultimately governments. If inheritance tax is stopped, or greatly reduced, this will regularly take a large amount of people out of the working population who have more than enough; people who are generally more skilled and qualified. It cannot afford to do this both in terms of losing the money they generate or losing skilled workers. Hi mate. The suggestion is that inheritance is scrapped, not inheritance tax.

The robber barons of yesterday become to wealthy elite of today. The system requires this continuity to keep itself going
Why do you think so many wealthy spend their money in say buying up forests? An odd reference point you say - have a look at taxation wrt to forestry in the UK. a taxation structure set up by the few, to ensure the continuity of the few.
Imagine a society where the accumulation & transfer of stolen capital from generation to generation is forbidden.
*Don't bother answering, This is rhetorical and designed to provoke. You don't have to prove how smart you are on the internet by responding to such blatant pavlovian tactics. In the internet, no one can hear you shout at the screen*

My sister-in-law is in London and would really like to attend, however, we both got shut out for tickets on the last run. Please PM me if you can help out. Thanks for letting me clog the thread a bit.

I would say the opposite is true. If what you have will ultimately be confiscated, and what others have will ultimately be redistributed, you have no incentive to do much....and this has been empirically tried in large scale btw
Also all this talk of inheriting billions accumulated through expropriation and the suffering of innocent people etc...is just stupid.
Most inheritance is Average Joes who manages to pay off the mortgage and leave the crappy house / flat to their 3 kids who will sell it off, give a cut to the government, and use the remaining few cents to pay their own small debts.
If you inherited something good for you, if not tough luck, life goes on
