Santa's Ghetto 2010 • Marks & Stencils

There is no way that is a POW release, printing is cr@p

[Karl Read]

Well it's not signed so I dong care and we know he doesn't do unsigned limited edition releases anymore. So a poster at best.

...same please

Sure, it's:

No 1, Letsby Avenue.
W1 London.

...very amusing and all, but is there a reason the location is not being disclosed?

Happen to be working in central Soho on Friday (not interested in crashing tonight's shenanigans) and wouldn't have minded a look around...

Im sure when they want people to go they will tell everyone.

Chill and have a cocktail or something.

It's official now:

blogs.channel4.com/gurublog/street-art-shock/526

This is the image designed to provoke, intrigue and shock people – and get them to spend money on street art – in this year’s Christmas show curated by Banksy called “Marks and Stencils” in London’s Soho. It is by a young artist called Mark Sinckler who will be doing an interview with our reporter Stephanie West for tonight’s programme about his motivations and thoughts behind the image. Obviously it is potentially offensive to some people. Others will find it thought provoking and even beautiful. It will certainly stir a debate about using such an image from a horroric tragedy like the 7/7 bombings for what is essentially a commercial project.



The pop up show is the successor to the Santa’s Ghettos that sold affordable street art in past years and opens to the public on Friday November 26th - the Sinckler image is huge and will be unveiled in the window tonight to identify the show. It also features the French street artist Dran and there will apparently be some new pieces by Banksy unveiled as well. What do you think? Beautiful? Thought provoking? Tasteless?

OK, Who's playing plank.

[naughtyshorty]

Nice. I actually like the image. And nice to hear that there is some new stuff being released. Fingers crossed for the print.

Cool

Anyone know what time they will open in the morning as I'm working late and wont be in London tonight

so they have basically moved the POW showroom to soho to leave space for the dran show at the POW print rooms.

Why is everyone so convinced that the Marks and Stencils logo is not simply a blog site getting the wrong end of the stick, and that the Dran show is simply just that on Thursday?

Seems they were right all along.

[adewilliams]

this is starting to look a bit interesting

[belly123]

is anyone risking it and camping out? I live in birmingham so have to get the train so cant get there early in the morning. Thinking of going tonight if other people are camping. This will be my last Banksy print as im moving to Melbourne after christmas.

About 30 meters from my apartment, if I wasn't in Singapore this month.
