Banksy
Banksy
(? - Present)
Banksy is a graffiti artist from Bristol, UK, whose is known for his stencil work as a street artist. His identity remains a mystery along with his date of birth and birthplace. Although there are some rumors which claim Banksy was born in 1974 as Robert or Robin Banks. His stenciling has drawn attention due to his political messages and locations. Sometimes seen as simple vandalism, his art is often displayed in sensitive locations or areas that have been without public access. In 1990 Banksy began as a freehand graffiti artist as one of Bristols DryBreadZ Crew (DBZ), with Kato and Tes. He did not adapt the stenciling style until 2000, supposedly after hiding from the police under a garbage truck where he noticed a stenciled barcode. His first exhibition, Existencilism, occurred in Los Angeles in June of 2002 at the 33 Gallery. Banksys second exhibition, Turf War, attracted attention and controversy since he displayed animals which he painted. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals deemed the display suitable but an animal rights activist chained herself to railings in protest. Along with Dmote and Shepard Fairey, Banksys work was displayed in the Semi-Permanent exhibit in 2003, which had approximately 1,500 attendees in Sydney. B

The Final Bid
The Final Bid questions the ease in which we can purchase new objects whilst perfectly useable objects lie unwanted in people’s homes. Using the Draiflessen Collection as a hub for an ongoing on-lines auction, these objects will be bought and sold, to create constantly evolving meanwhile sculptures. This installation, conflating the commercial with the cultural, will encourage people circulate objects they no longer need, promoting an economy of reuse.
