Banksy Puzzles With ‘Exit Through the Gift Shop’ – NYTimes.com
Riddle? Yes. Enigma? Sure. Documentary? (Published 2010)
Banksy, the pseudonymous British street artist, is laboring in a new documentary to convince audiences that he’s playing it straight.

The thing is, both Banksy and Mr. Guetta are pretty unreliable narrators. The immediate scuttlebutt was that Mr. Guetta either didn’t exist at all, that he was in cahoots with Banksy or that he was Banksy himself. Even aficionados of the scene were unsure what to think.

Mary Shannon Johnstone is doing the hard work. She’s taking a look a something none of us want to see, so if the subject of euthanized animals is more than you can visually tolerate, then best not continue.

D*Face Comes to L.A.: British Street Artist Talks Advertising, Skating and Punk Rock
It’s not so much important that you don’t know who I am. I don’t find that it’s necessarily relevant that you know who I am regarding my work. The work speaks for itself and if it doesn’t speak for itself, then I like people to reinterpret it for their own views. I don’t know that knowing what I look like is relevant to what I do. I think people can be a little hung up on what the artist looks like. What are you doing? Are you looking at what they are doing or are you looking at them? Since I play that out in my work, it seems a little pointless to be like, “Hey, here I am. Am I cool? Do you think I’m cool? I’m not?”

“I’m a product of my generation. I grew up through the 80s and was drawn to the punk rock and hip-hop cultures simultaneously”, Giant said in a recent interview. “I threw myself in headfirst. A lot of those things were about personal expression, and also an anti-establishment attitude like, “We don’t need you, we have our own thing.” That’s the backbone of who I am to this day”.

“Either/Or” is a solo exhibition of works by Todd Lim at Booth Gallery inspired by the title of Søren Kierkegaard’s masterpiece. “Either/Or,” explores two world views, one centered on the aesthetic life and the other on an ethical life. Kierkegaard’s purpose, according to the author, was to ‘exhibit the existential relationship between the aesthetic and the ethical in an existing individual’ and remind people ‘what it means to exist, and what inwardness signifies.’

In 2014, we wrote about Godfrey “Doc” Daniels and his Kickstarter campaign to raise money to write a book about about the Mojave Phone Booth, a phone booth that once existed an isolated stretch of California desert and became Internet-famous in the late 1990s. Unfortunately, despite its fame, the phone booth was removed in May 2000. By 2018, Daniels, however, was able to raise enough money to publish his book “Adventures With the Mojave Phone Booth” and is currently selling it online.

British artist-filmmaker Oliver Payne and American painter Kevin Bouton-Scott have joined forces to produce a new documentary that tells an almost forgotten story of the ANSI scene. The Art Of Warez covers the days before the Internet when early hackers and online pirates created an original and, even today, a virtually unknown art movement.
