Banksy building castles in the sky, by stuckeyc on Aug 25, 2022 20:10:21 GMT 1, Is this exhibit worth checking out? Popping down to the city this wknd. Is this worth taking the wife and kids to? Any street pieces still around that I can check out for free which is preferred option. Is anybody still here?

Banksy building castles in the sky, by Jules Leotard on Aug 25, 2022 20:55:43 GMT 1, I have previously vigorously defended the merit of these shows. I went to one in Europe in 2019 (?) and thought it was fantastic. It was crisp and put together well. The people who were working at it were into it and there was a great vibe.
Flash forward, I went to one on the east coast earlier this year. It was a sloppy shite show and the place was a mess. I was pretty disappointed and it was expensive-ish to go to (went with the wife and kids to both). No vibe whatsoever.
So, I leave you with this, it is nice to see B's works in-person. Some of the prints were somewhat (to my eye) possibly questionable and the frames they presented them in supported that conclusion. I don't know who is putting on the show you are referencing (are they just 're-packaging' the previous east coast shows under a new title?). Have low expectations and be pleasantly surprised (hopefully?).

Banksy building castles in the sky, by stuckeyc on Aug 26, 2022 13:26:40 GMT 1, Yeah I went to the show in Toronto that Laz was behind and it was cool. I think this one is much smaller (and more expensive). It closes next week and happen to be heading to NYC so hoping to hear from someone who has been to this one. I agree these unauthorized shows can feel like little more than a cash grab
