Banksy from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Banksy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Banksy The cover of Banksy's 2005 compilation, Wall and Piece. Birth name (unknown) Born Unknown Bristol Field Graffiti Street art Bristol underground scene Sculpture Satire Social commentary Awards Toronto Film Critics Association Awards – Best First Feature 2010 Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary Feature Washington D.C. Area Film Critics Association – Best Documentary Film 2010 Banksy is a pseudonymous United Kingdom-based graffiti artist, political activist, film director, and painter. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stencilling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.[1] Banksy's work was made up of the Bristol underground scene which involved collaborations between artists and musicians.[2] According to author and graphic designer Tristan Manco and the book Home Sweet Home, Banksy "was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England.[3] The son of a photocopier technician, he trained as a butcher, but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s."[4] Observers have noted that his style is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris.[5][6] Banksy says that he was inspired by "3D", a graffiti artist who later became a founding member of Massive Attack.[7] Known for his contempt for the government in labelling graffiti as vandalism, Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls, even going as far as to build physical prop pieces. Banksy does not sell photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, but art auctioneers have been known to attempt to sell his street art on location and leave the problem of its removal in the hands of the winning bidder.[8] Banksy's first film, Exit Through the Gift Shop, billed as "the world's first street art disaster movie", made its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.[9] The film was released in the UK on 5 March 2010.[10] In January 2011, he was nominated for theAcademy Award for Best Documentary for the film.

He claims he changed to stencilling while he was hiding from the police under a rubbish lorry, when he noticed the stencilled serial number[16] and by employing this technique, he soon became more widely noticed for his art around Bristol and London.[16] He played football with theEaston Cowboys and Cowgirls in the 1990s and toured with the club to Mexico in 2001.[17] Banksy's first known large wall mural was "The Mild Mild West" painted in 1997 to cover advertising of a former solicitors' office on Stokes Croft Avenue, Bristol. It depicts a teddybear lobbing a Molotov cocktail at three riot police. [18] Stencil on the waterline of The Thekla, an entertainment boat in centralBristol – (wider view). The image of Death is based on a nineteenth-century etching illustrating the pestilence ofThe Great Stink.[19] Banksy's stencils feature striking and humorous images occasionally combined with slogans. The message is usually anti-war, anti-capitalist or anti-establishment. Subjects often include rats, apes, policemen, soldiers, children, and the elderly. In July 2011 one of Banksy's early works, Gorilla in a Pink Mask, which had been a prominent landmark on the exterior wall of a former social club in Eastville for over ten years, was unwittingly painted over after the premises became a Muslim cultural centre.[20][21] Exhibitions (2002–2003) 1 On 19 June 2002, Banksy's first Los Angeles exhibition debuted at 33 ⁄3 Gallery, a tiny Silver Lake venue owned by Frank Sosa. The exhibition, entitled Existencilism, was curated by 1 [22] 33 ⁄3 Gallery, Malathion LA's Chris Vargas, Funk Lazy Promotions' Grace Jehan, and B+. In 2003, at an exhibition called Turf War, held in a warehouse, Banksy painted on animals. Although the RSPCA declared the conditions suitable, an animal rights activist chained herself to the railings in protest.[23] He later moved on to producing subverted paintings;[citation needed] one example is Monet's Water Lily Pond, adapted to include urban detritus such as litter and a shopping trolley floating in its reflective waters; another is Edward Hopper's Nighthawks, redrawn to show that the characters are looking at a British football hooligan, dressed only in his Union Flag underpants, who has just thrown an object through the glass window of the cafe. These oil paintings were shown at a twelve-day exhibition in Westbourne Grove, London in 2005.[24] Banksy art in Brick Lane, East End, 2004. Banksy, along with Shepard Fairey, Dmote and others created work at a warehouse exhibition in Alexandria, Sydney for Semi-Permanent in 2003. Approximately 1,500 people attended. £10 notes to Barely Legal (2004–2006) In August 2004, Banksy produced a quantity of spoof British £10 notes substituting the picture of the Queen's head with Diana, Princess of Wales's head and changing the text "Bank of England" to "Banksy of England." Someone threw a large wad of these into a crowd at Notting Hill Carnival that year, which some recipients then tried to spend in local shops. These notes were also given with invitations to a Santa's Ghetto exhibition by Pictures on Walls. The individual notes have since been selling on eBay for about £200 each. A wad of the notes were also thrown over a fence and into the crowd near the NME signing tent at The Reading Festival. A limited run of 50 signed posters containing ten uncut notes were also produced and sold by Pictures on Walls for £100 each to commemorate the death of Princess Diana. One of these sold in October 2007 at Bonhamsauction house in London for £24,000. A stencil of Charles Manson in a prison suit, hitchhiking to anywhere,Archway, London In August 2005, Banksy, on a trip to the Palestinian territories, created nine images on the Israeli West Bank wall.[25] Banksy held an exhibition called Barely Legal, billed as a "three-day vandalised warehouse extravaganza" in Los Angeles, on the weekend of 16 September 2006. The exhibition featured a live "elephant in a room," painted in a pink and gold floral wallpaper pattern, which, according to leaflets handed out at the exhibition, was intended to draw attention to the issue of world poverty. Although the Animal Services Department had issued a permit for the elephant, after complaints from animal rights activists, the elephant appeared unpainted on the final day. Its owners rejected claims of mistreatment and said that the elephant had done "many, many movies. She's used to makeup."[26] Banksy also made artwork displaying Queen Victoria as a lesbian and satirical pieces that incorporated art made by Andy Warhol and Leonardo da Vinci.[27] The Banksy effect (2006–2007) "There are crimes that become innocent and even glorious through their splendour, number and excess." – Banksy[28] After Christina Aguilera bought an original of Queen Victoria as a lesbian and two prints for £25,000,[29] on 19 October 2006, a set of Kate Moss paintings sold in Sotheby's London for £50,400, setting an auction record for Banksy's work. The six silk-screen prints, featuring the model painted in the style of Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe pictures, sold for five times their estimated value. His stencil of a green Mona Lisa with real paint dripping from her eyes sold for £57,600 at the same auction.[30] In December, journalist Max Foster coined the phrase, "the Banksy effect," to illustrate how interest in other street artists was growing on the back of Banksy's success.[31] Naked Man image by Banksy, on the wall of a sexual health clinic[32] in Park Street, Bristol. Following popular support, the City Council has decided it will be allowed to remain – (wider view). On 21 February 2007, Sotheby's auction house in London auctioned three works, reaching the highest ever price for a Banksy work at auction: over £102,000 for his Bombing Middle England. Two of his other graffiti works, Balloon Girl and Bomb Hugger, sold for £37,200 and £31,200 respectively, which were well above their estimated prices.[33] The following day's auction saw a further three Banksy works reach soaring prices: Ballerina with Action Man Parts reached £96,000; Glory sold for £72,000;Untitled (2004) sold for £33,600; all significantly above estimated values.[34] To coincide with the second day of auctions, Banksy updated his website with a new image of an auction house scene showing people bidding on a picture that said, "I Can't Believe You Morons Actually Buy This Shit."[35] In February 2007, the owners of a house with a Banksy mural on the side in Bristol decided to sell the house through Red Propeller art gallery after offers fell through because the prospective buyers wanted to remove the mural.

Here, Melbourne-based copyright lawyer, Sharon Givoni, considers how the laws relating to street art may be relevant to illustrators. She tries to make you “street smart” in an environment where increasingly such creations are not only tolerated, but even celebrated. 1 Street Art Melbourne, Lou Chamberlin, Explore Australia Publishing Pty Ltd, 2013, Comments made on the back cover. It canvasses: 1. copyright issues; 2. moral rights laws; and 3. the conflict between intellectual property and real property. Why this topic? One only needs to drive down the streets of Melbourne to realise that urban art is so ubiquitous that the city has been unofficially dubbed the stencil graffiti capital. Street art has rapidly gained momentum as an art form in its own right. So much so that Melbourne-based street artist Luke Cornish (aka E.L.K.) was an Archibald finalist in 2012 with his street art inspired stencilled portrait.1 The work, according to Bonham’s Auction House, was recently sold at auction for AUD $34,160.00.2 Stencil seen in the London suburb of Shoreditch. Photo Credit: Chris Scott Artist: Unknown It is therefore becoming increasingly important that illustra- tors working within the street art scene understand how the law (particularly copyright law) may apply.

  • Street Art Rising Marshall Soules—[email protected]
    Vol 1 No 2 (Autumn 2020) Online: jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/nexj Visit our WebBlog: newexplorations.net Street Art Rising Marshall Soules—[email protected] This illustrated article discusses the various manifestations of street art—graffiti, posters, stencils, social murals—and the impact of street art on urban environments. Continuing perceptions of street art as vandalism contributing to urban decay neglects to account for street art’s full spectrum of effects. As freedom of expression protected by law, as news from under-privileged classes, as images of social uplift and consciousness-raising, and as beautification of urban milieux, street art has social benefits requiring re-assessment. Street art has become a significant global art movement. Detailed contextual history includes the photographer Brassai's interest in Parisian graffiti between the world wars; Cézanne’s use of passage; Walter Benjamin's assemblage of fragments in The Arcades Project; the practice of dérive (passage through diverse ambiances, drifting) and détournement (rerouting, hijacking) as social and political intervention advocated by Guy Debord and the Situationist International; Dada and Surrealist montage and collage; and the art of Quebec Automatists and French Nouveaux réalistes. Present street art engages dynamically with 20th C. art history. The article explores McLuhan’s ideas about the power of mosaic style to subvert the received order, opening spaces for new discourse to emerge, new patterns to be discovered. The author compares street art to advertising, and raises questions about appropriation, authenticity, and style. How does street art survive when it leaves the streets for galleries, design shops, and museums? Street art continues to challenge communication strategies of the privileged classes and elected officials, and increasingly plays a reconstructive role in modulating the emotional tenor of urban spaces.

  • Biography - Banksy
    BIOGRAPHY - BANKSY Banksy is a mythical character in the Street Art scene. His name is inevitable in the art world and the value of his work is steadily (and dramatically) increasing! The Bristol-based artist has an extensive portfolio and produces striking works that are highly critical of society. His graffiti often carries anti-capitalist, anarchist, anti-systemic and anti-milarist messages. In spite of his secret identity, the artist is recognised worldwide and acclaimed by many art lovers. In 2007, he even received the prize for the best living English artist "Art's Greatest Living Briton", a very great honour, which he will not come to collect himself. Banksy's Street Artist career began in the late 1990s, early 2000s. He was first part of a graffiti collective called Bristol's DryBreadZ Crew. He will make his first works in Bristol, the city he comes from. One of the notable works of this period is the fresco The Mild Mild West in 1999. It was created following numerous altercations between the police and participants of clandestine parties at the time. In 2003, the artist designed the cover of Blur's album, Think Thank. The artist, who usually avoids commercial collaborations, defended his decision by maintaining that the album was good and that doing something commercial wasn't especially bad, if it was something that made sense. The satirical and subversive irony that characterizes the artist's works has aroused the curiosity of the art world and has been the subject of much ink over the years. In addition to his Street art works created on the walls of the different cities he passes through, the artist has created a series of other projects.

I Abstract Kommunikationsguerilla und Guerilla Marketing sind Guerilla-Anwendungen, die durch unkon- ventionelle und originelle Maßnahmen die Wahrnehmungsmuster des Alltags durcheinander- bringen, um Aufmerksamkeit in ihrer jeweiligen Zielgruppe zu generieren. Während beide Be- wegungen völlig unterschiedliche Ziele verfolgen, greifen sie dabei jedoch auf ähnliche Metho- den zurück. Erfolgreiche Unternehmen und Organisationen setzen auf Guerilla Marketing, um Kunden für ihre Produkte und Services zu begeistern.

  • Desmontando a Un Analisis, De Su Tecnica, Y De Su Obra
    desmontando a un Analisis, de su tecnica, y de su obra Autor: Eduardo Aracil Campos Tutor: Francisco Javier Consuegra Panaligan Grado en Humanidades Curso académico 2018-2019 Desmontando a Banksy Eduardo Aracil Campos Título del trabajo: Desmontando a Banksy. Un análisis de su técnica y de su obra Firma del autor Firma del tutor académico Eduardo Aracil Campos Francisco Javier Consuegra Panaligan Trabajo de Fin de Grado Grado en Humanidades Facultad de Filosofía y Letras 2 Desmontando a Banksy Eduardo Aracil Campos Resumen La historia del arte urbano es la de la recuperación del espacio público de las ciudades por quienes realmente lo habitan, por aquellos que, en su vida rutinaria, en demasiadas ocasiones anodina, transitan por calles y barrios a menudo decadentes, desvencijados, abandonados… una suerte de figuras casi autómatas, fantasmales, que, sin embargo, al encontrarse con una obra de arte urbano salen de su aletargamiento y esbozan una sonrisa… o fruncen el ceño. En esta polaridad del arte urbano, en esa línea tan fina que separa vandalismo de arte, se mueve como pez en el agua Banksy, un artista que ha dado ese impulso definitivo que necesitaba el street art para presentarse ante la sociedad como un arte vanguardista, original, crítico y reflexivo, pero ante todo universal, accesible a todos los estratos sociales. Esa universalidad es la que representa Banksy y es el valor que el artista de Bristol da a su obra, una obra que, sin embargo, cada vez más frecuentemente es objeto de especulación por las galerías de arte y las casas de subasta. Podemos afirmar que Banksy es ya un fenómeno de masas del que se han escrito chorros de tinta y se han retuiteado miles de mensajes o compartido cientos de noticias.

  • Duchampianska” Praktiker Inom Samtidskonsten
    Konstvetenskapliga institutionen ”DUCHAMPIANSKA” PRAKTIKER INOM SAMTIDSKONSTEN Författare: Belma Kratović© Fördjupningskurs (C) i konstvetenskap Vårterminen 2020 Handledare: Lars Wängdahl Till AKA ABSTRACT Institution/Ämne Uppsala universitet. Konstvetenskapliga institutionen, Konstvetenskap Författare Belma Kratović Titel och undertitel: ”Duchampianska” praktiker inom samtidskonsten Engelsk titel: ‘Duchampian’ Practices in Contemporary Art Handledare Lars Wängdahl Ventileringstermin: Höstterm. (år) Vårterm. (år) Sommartermin (år) 2020 2020 This study investigates the extent to which subversive practices of conceptual art can be identified in contemporary works. It attempts to understand if, despite the widespread understanding of conceptual art as a mainstream in today's art scene, there may still be examples of contemporary practice that are as deviant and challenging to the notion of art today as those that came at the forefront of the conceptual art movement. The standard historical definition of 'conceptual art' generally refers to the artistic movement taking place between 1966 and 1972. The aim of this study, however, is to give an account of its development both prior to and beyond that narrow temporal window, seeking to identify both the roots and the legacy of the philosophical aspects of conceptual practice. The study traces these roots to the actions of Duchamp, who shifted the focus from aesthetics to a more cognitive valuation of art, by designating an everyday object as an artwork; an action that paved the way for the notion that, rather than being skilled craftsmen, artists are the authors of meaning, and artworks are the creation and transmission of ideas. This ‘Duchampian’ approach which pushes and explores the boundaries of art within the framework of the artwork themselves has also influenced the selection of works for analysis.

    Bachelorarbeit Gesellschaftskritik in der Street Art – Ein Vergleich zwischen Banksy und Barbara. Social criticism in street art – A comparison between Banksy and Barbara. von Romy Lödel für die Prüfung zum Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) Im Studienbereich: Soziale Arbeit. Medien. Kultur. Studiengang: Kultur- und Medienpädagogik an der Hochschule Merseburg Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. phil. Nana Adriane Eger Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. jur. Erich Menting Autor: Romy Lödel Matrikelnummer: 22200 Adresse: Am Auenblick 2, 04442 Zwenkau Abgabedatum: 13.08.2018 Hinweis: Aus Gründen der besseren Lesbarkeit wird im Text verallgemeinernd das generische Maskulinum verwendet. Diese Formulierungen umfassen gleichermaßen weibliche und männliche Personen; alle sind damit selbstverständlich gleichberechtigt angesprochen. Summary Street Art is not a new phenomenon anymore. However it is still not clear for every observer what the artist wants to express. Many of them criticize the society in their works. Two outstanding examples for that are the british artist Banksy and the german based artist Barbara. No one knows exactly who the person behind those phantoms is. Nevertheless both are really successful and can increase their number of fans regularly. The artists Barbara. and Banksy live their own style of art. Banksy prefers stencils and Barbara. posters and prohibition signs. Usual critique points are besides hate, discrimination, capitalism also politics and the refugee crisis since the year 2015. Based on two analytics would be clarified with which mediums and techniques Banksy and Barbara. try to express their art to their observers and stimulate them to overthink society. Zusammenfassung Street Art ist kein neues Phänomen, doch was die Künstler damit erreichen möchten, ist den wenigstens Betrachtern bekannt.
