BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Quinnster on Aug 26, 2015 17:43:46 GMT 1, Can anybody update me on any rumours of a new Banksy print to be sold at the show? Thanks in advance.
If you had a chance of buying anything from the show you would know about it already... Posters tee shirts and programs only for non VIPs.

Some going upstairs and already paying Dismalanf fees.. Great transactions ! Anyway , heard for a gesture later on for " basic " people ... Maybe I am wrong ... Should the people only wear posters when others have furs around their neck ? :-) To queue or not to queue ? Banksy' s paradox... Any quotes ? :-)

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by ABC on Aug 26, 2015 20:11:46 GMT 1, Hooooray. I have acquired a reasonably cheap ticket from that auction site. Does anyone know if they are indeed asking for ID ?
Yes, they asked me. Not an interegation but they still checked.

There's bound to be a dismally acceptable reaction to impersonation? they can't ( saw that question to Jo B. ) blame and punish people who are buying them .. It will be the double punishment : flippers ( money ) , then no entrance ! It would not be fair ...( I don't like anyway this black market )

They didn't check my ID today, think they were just trying to keep the queue moving. Checked every bag, probably spot checks on ID

To break and stop the flipper phenomen you have to advert and make some trouble and anxiety in the head of the potential buyer ...

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by mumo on Aug 26, 2015 20:40:50 GMT 1, Anyone gone with their kids. I'm gonna have my 6yr old son with me. Anything to really avoid? Would've been better alone but hey ho only weekend I can do.
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I took my 4 year old son. He loved it. He thought the grim reaper was amazing. I tried to pull him away in fear that it might scare him, but he wanted to stay because he thought it was funny. I was worried about the Cinderella car crash, as he loves Cinderella, but unless your aware of the obvious Princess Di references, it's very unlikely kids will see it as anything traumatic - there's no blood or anything signifying it as a gruesome event. He was oblivious to any horror associated with this piece, despite being a pretty sensitive kid.
What really caused tears was the fact that the balloons had sold out & we didn't win a fish finger in a bag from the hook-a-duck stall!
All kids see are Ferris wheels, carousels & a depressed stormtrooper with a balloon. They're oblivious to all the suggestions of environmental disaster, celebrity death, political struggle & horse meat scandals.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Daniel Silk on Aug 26, 2015 20:55:19 GMT 1, Ok, I can't be there, but from the photos I have seen I'm not that impressed with Dismaland. Of course you might say the whole point is to be disappointed but I feel it looks a bit like a wasted opportunity for what could have been a really special Art event, thinking back to the Cans Tunnel and Bristol Museum shows. Seeing the images and news reports on TV made it look a bit less like a real art event and more like some kind of "Grumpy Old Men" theme park. I think it's edged into being more a political "Grumpy Old Men" than what could be seen as a Art event.
Sorry, just my opinion.

Go and witness it for yourself and think a bit about what you see and experience. You might learn something, particularly about yourself.

I have 2 tickets available for Sunday afternoon 2pm. If anyone wants them they're yours. The only thing I ask is a Dismaland poster and program sent to the US. If you would also be able to pick up a shirt I can pay you the cost.

Would've been better alone but hey ho only weekend I can do. Be funny to hear a kids interpretation of the event , especially after visiting the pier first :-) , took a few adults a while to understand the theme of the workers on the first day . For really young kids maybe caution to Cinderella and grim reaper . Tiny model city should be fun for them I can't speak for the children there, but I certainly saw and overheard quite a few adults that did not get the joke at all.

Honestly, it's brilliant. There have been few photos of the galleries, which are fabulous. Then there are the different tents, vans, libraries etc which again are great. The attractions/games are a tiny part of it. It would have been worth the trip just to see the Cauty model village. I could go on and on. It's far better than any art show I've ever been to before. As has been said by others, photos tell only a tiny fraction of what it's like to be there.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Dr Plip on Aug 26, 2015 21:44:00 GMT 1, Like Coach said, the photos just don't do the work justice. The Cinderella piece for example, the still images are nowhere near as impressive or disturbing as it is "in person".
And yeah, I thought I knew what to expect with the Cauty diorama, but wow, It's just huge and amazing. You could spend an hour looking at just that.
I think the whole place was just brilliant. And it's such a clever way to get, not just the art anoraks in, but a lot of the general public and exposing them to ideas and themes that they might not usually want to think about.
Some might go away thinking it's just ripping off Disney, but hopefully some (a lot) will take more from it. It was great seeing kids asking their parents questions about the works. Some of the answers weren't great, but I commend Banksy and all the artists for coming up with a great way of getting these messages across to people. And you can have fun while you're there.
I had an absolute ball there. And if I die in the next few weeks, I'd like my corpse left on one of the rides at Dismaland.
Like Coach said, the photos just don't do the work justice. The Cinderella piece for example, the still images are nowhere near as impressive or disturbing as it is "in person".
And yeah, I thought I knew what to expect with the Cauty diorama, but wow, It's just huge and amazing. You could spend an hour looking at just that.
I think the whole place was just brilliant. And it's such a clever way to get, not just the art anoraks in, but a lot of the general public and exposing them to ideas and themes that they might not usually want to think about.
