Not sure if this has already been posted but there will be a segment about Banksy on the Culture Show on Thursday:

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00r8fkz

"Before the release of the first feature film by renowned graffiti artist Banksy, the Culture Show previews the film and looks at how the artist achieved a global reputation, building a career which has gone from the walls of back streets in London to the pinnacle of the contemporary art movement."

OH I SOOOO THANK YOU!!!! Just on time!

[stenev]

Not what I was expecting but it was great to see snippets of footage of B working on the large pieces - where are these videos from as I don't remember seeing them before?

I just thought it was a little odd that they chose the particular guy to do the report as it seemed like he already had a fixed opinion of Banksy and the film wasn't going to change that.

Nice to see another point of view though I guess.

Just watched it on the iplayer, see what you mean about the presenter and his opinion.

Quite interesting, but nothing new really.

About 31-32mins in on iplayer for anyone that is interested.

i think it's about to start on BBC 2 now

[rosstierney]

that reporter's a pleb. if he'd bothered to do a bit of historical research, he wouldn't be so 'puzzled' over banksy's involvement. and to say he isn't really an artist, wtf? i hope trips over a spray can.

[kennas]

Interesting to see another point of view, although clearly I couldnt disagree with him more! He came across as a total pr!ck!

I dont think Banksy would describe himself as an artist, so hes not that far off.

[rowan]

Always start your art segment with a cock joke..
Nice stuff though, bit hoytie joytie...

[uncle]

I'm glad that c0ck doesn't like banksy

[Run Pig Run]

toff presenter...david camerons son.

[stopki]

Interesting discussions.

He was a. Dick but his oppinion is a not
as stupid as you think.

As he represents a part of the art world.
That most of us don't.

And that is there opinion like it or not.

End of

[monkeyart]

I'm part of the art world the guys a knob! More to the point if you don't think so , why are you on a Banksy forum?

[stopki]

I said he was a dick.
And didn't say I agreed with him.

SO BACK OFF.

Banksy Culture Show

[Winter]

How did that bloke get on tv?

[nigelbgg]

''This IS what the Banksy phenomenon is all about''.

Yup mother fucker was right there, its about money and stardom.

[sug]

I wish the money men would get lost.

[Vandalog]

Banksy is a genius artist and genius marketer. Banksy is a brand, and and awesome one at that. I don't agree with that reporter's final conclusion that Banksy isn't an artist and whatnot, but most of the rest of what he says is true. Especially the Andy Warhol media manipulation bit. Think about it. Just one simple example: It's not like all those celebrities just randomly showed up at Exit Through The Gift Shop on the same night, and it's not a coincidence that the media was there to cover those celebrities. Good for Banksy. He manipulates the media just like large corporations, but he promotes his own anti-corporate agenda.

[stillborncrisps]

Lol that twat 'expert' saying in his opening statement that Banksy used to refer to his own work as Brandalism?

Wasn't B actually using that word to describe all the huge Coke & Nike ads that litter every city globally?

Good sound track to the vid....the content, well...............
