Banksy Raffle • Dismaland Refugee Boat, by Rouen Cathedral on Dec 3, 2018 14:56:49 GMT 1, When viewing this as 'art' the fact that it's raising money for a charity has to be removed. Unless you want to argue that banksy is now creating art by giving to charity and if thats the case then Bella Gladmans 'ludicrous pompousness' idea rings true again.
Once again I don't see anyone criticising the fact that banksy is raising money for something he thinks is important.
You are then left with the boat. At dismaland it was an art installation with direct involvement from a visitor and connected to the theme of the entire place. Remove it changes entirely.
How often do we on the forum moan and complain when someone rips a street piece from the street saying the work is ruined.
Now in this case and what is probably banksys purpose is that it does not matter because he's raises money. And that's fine.
The critique isn't the raffle, the charity or the artist. It's the response by 'fans' and the greed and the spin to call this a banksy sculpture and an original work of art. Everyone who entered would have entered anyway even if the money was going to banksys pocket. On reflection this is the true genius of the 'work' (concept) and artist. An artist showing the true colors of the art world, the collectors greed and exposing many of his own collectors and fans without them realizing it.
The concept is genius. The charity giving is noble and generous. The boat is just that... A boat that was once part of a great art installation...

Also I would like to thank Banksy for the effort of forcing anybody on this forum to go back & study Archimedes' principle.
Anyone is able to tell me if the dimensions 90cm x 38cm x 42cm include the figures or just for the plain boat ? It includes the figures. You can see if you scale the picture of the boat.

Then maybe take a moment to thank your lucky stars its not you or your loved ones being forced to be on one of those boats. Turning this gesture into a stupid argument is pathetic and shows a complete lack of class, its disgraceful please stop it....& yes of course its a genuine Banksy Artwork.

Wonder how much this weighs, probably more than a bag of plaster yet floats?...... just saying boats are made to float I just Googled this: An object will float if the gravitational (downward) force is less than the buoyancy (upward) force. So, in other words, an object will float if it weighs less than the amount of water it displaces. This explains why a rock will sink while a huge boat will float. The rock is heavy, but it displaces only a little water. |

Banksy Raffle • Dismaland Refugee Boat, by darkarts on Dec 3, 2018 22:43:29 GMT 1, I know the shop is a charity but I just thought is the statue monitored at all times in some way? For example, is it possible for a cleaner who comes at night to just lift the acrylic box and weigh it themselves to the exact weight? Is the box locked or alarmed etc? It seems like if there was the opportunity to cheat and if there are no cameras etc, someone would be inevitably very tempted. Not sure if a photo of the boat in the shop has been posted yet but here's a shot by @banksy_dealer on instagram http://instagram.com/p/Bq7Oz78lI2B
