I was thinking, if I was in LA at that time, I would probably go to the Life is Beautiful exhibition, and stare at some Monroe with a changed face on the spot, and then excitedly discuss with my friends.
This film is actually an artistic statement expressed by Bansky in the form of a documentary-roughly that, if you don't understand art, don't mix it up (his own expression is very euphemistic).
I knew that the director was Bansky after watching the film, and I didn't know this famous street artist before. But I was really shocked by his works of "Girl in a Balloon" and "Blue Sky on the Beach Beyond the Wall". His works have surpassed the trivialities and narcissism of ordinary street art, and his satire carries a strong humanistic care.
When the film progressed to Sotheby's auction site, the audience could feel his (and some other street performers) more strongly-their irony has actually extended to the auction houses of the first-class auction houses, reaching millions In the house of rich people and collectors. At the same time, these artists still keep a cool head and are above all of this.
At this time, the film took a turn for the worse, showing a super long trailer carefully edited by Theirry and his own street art works. To be honest, anyone with a clear mind can see how bad his movie work is, and in the series of so-called street art that appeared in the lens, I did not see a creative that shocked me. of. In Bansky's contrast, Theirry's work is particularly ridiculously bad.
(Bansky's goal has been achieved, he is the real Mister Brainwash, and he has to vent through this film. At the same time, but I also have confidence in my independent thinking ability.)
But Theirry succeeded. His exhibition has been extended for two months from a few days originally planned. Countless media interviews, countless "art lovers" waiting outside the closed exhibition doors, and those who have seen the exhibition are even more eloquent: "We need more such creative and exciting works of art."
Depressed. What is art? Is it a sold ticket? Is it a few interviews in the media? Or is it people’s reputation? If some people like Michelangelo's art, some people like Bansky's art, and of course some people have the right to like Theirry.
Standards and reputation are artificial. Xiucai and Bing can't make sense, and Bansky and Theirry can't compare results.
Therefore, only conflicts can be reduced. You take your Yangguan Road, I squeeze my single-plank bridge. I was really upset, and at most cursed: "He's just a neurotic who happens to be holding a camera." Bansky said calmly in front of the camera. But when he first learned of the great success of Theirry's exhibition, he probably didn't say so calmly.
Having said that, this is not a problem at all. Good movies don’t have the box office, and popular movies are selling so much that people are numb-art and word-of-mouth are originally two different things, it only has a relationship with the people who are enjoying it.
I will put on a pair of mesh pants for David PS tonight. Some people like it very well, but I don't think it is art. If I consider myself an artist, then I am a nouveau riche like Theirry.
ps. I definitely saw space invader's work in Rome, near the Vatican.
