French shop keeper turned documentary maker, Thierry Guetta (who goes under the moniker Mr. Brainwash) tells his tale of his search for famed street artist Banksy. Shepard Fairey, Mr. A (Andre), and Space Invaders aid in his quest and make appearances in the film.
It’s the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed.
– Banksy
From time to time, I like to add to Penguin’s ever-growing library (his room has so many neat stacks of books that it looks like a stalagmite labyrinth sprouting from his carpet). Usually my selections are art-related like Richard Avedon’s Portraits or Banksy’s Wall and Piece.
Paris street artist, C215 can seriously cut stencils! Check out this interview at Banksy’s Cans Festival in London. You can see more of C215’s work on his Flickr page.
I love Banksy’s audacity, to just walk into the museum and put stuff up. And the way that he does it, it doesn’t immediately draw attention to itself. It’s only when you view the art that you’ll get a surprise.
