Last night my roommate and I attended Banksy's Exit Through the Gift Shop. I found this film to be relevant to a number of issues that we are addressing in this class. The rise and success of street art in the contemporary fine art scene is fascinating, but the rise and success of Mr Brainwash is mind blowing. This film showed the most intimate moments in creating street art, as well as creating intimate insight as to who these alias artists are; it makes one feel even more connected to them. I do not want to spoil the film so instead I am just going to highly recommend it. Through Exit Through the Gift Shop the audience enters the world of street art, art exhibitions, the auction house, collectors and dealers, and sees the unusual rise of an artist.
