the show in london was gross . . . I mean, it was nice to see, but gross to be walking around with live rats all up in their crap and piss. We had to sign a waiver in case there were any rat incidents . . .Whatever effect he was aiming for, he achieved. I enjoyed seeing his work on the oil paintings. I have seen pictures on BBC.com
la show location wasn't announced until the day of the show (yesterday)...may t ry and go tonight. Already sounds like a media circus, elephants and all. Coincides with
SCIArc thesis presentations (Go!!!): saturday 2-6, sunday 11-4...
RE the elephant: there is a series of panels displaying process sketches and work fragments on display. On the far left panel, middle, is a small square sketch of a nondescript man in his living room sitting in a lounge chair. This drawing resembles a minimal comic strip frame, with wallpaper behind him articulated by a diamond pattern of circles. Over the sketch is a line drawing of a hidden elephant, the Elephant in the Room
Below the frame reads, "make this happen."
I enjoyed the overcrowded, hot, stuffy exhibit, and the aforementioned process sketch was worth the intolerable circus of the opening.
time to die now banksy, so your minimal (not minimalist) works will appreciate in value and people will make coffee table books about you. i recommend overdosing with a cute hipster girl.
banksy in LA

went to the one with spray painted pigs in east london back in the day... the openings are always fun.
His agit prop work is pretty awesome - Gitmo captive in Disney for LA
Where were you Marlin? Hopefully catch up tomorrow...
...i'll be there today for the morning thesis session. Hitting up the banksy show afterwards. Apparently, the Elephant in the Room arrives at 1pm.
....caught the OBEY Shepard Fairey opening on Vine before dinner saturday night.
...Here in Los Angeles, it's shaping up to be a big weekend for the death of graffiti art.
BTW, sunday presentations started at 9am. I feel for the poor MArch sap presenting top of the morning.
so, according to animal rights guy, the paint's not the problem, the concrete floor is the problem.
and the question they ask 'is the intended message getting across?', i.e., will the elephant remain the elephant in the room?
There's a big bansky piece on Melrose. It's on the 2nd floor of the east side of the building...on the south side of Melrose. Find it.
c'mon, the elephant will be fine. i'm more worried about his life in a zoo...
phillip starck showed up in his show with elephants in 80's. it was in modern props, marina del rey.
a note to those who may see the show:

Doesn't the star-studded exclusive private opening undermine his 'street-cred'?
he's laughing his way to the bank
i will second the rallying cry for Cute Hipster Girls (CHG)!
like banksy gives a fuck...
the first rule of bombing is, the more people see it, the better.
