felonies.

So I am not a fan of Mr. Brainwash's art. It makes me feel uncomfortable because it seems like a rip off or copy. But I guess a lot of artist aren't original.

Thats such a fucked up documentary.

Has anyone proven conclusively whether its fake or not?

8/12/2011 2:53:36 PM

I don't know if it's fake but it made me feel uneasy the whole time.

so, you liked it?

I like art.

8/12/2011 4:22:54 PM

I don't know if I like it. I was watching it because the description said it had banksy in it. When I realized the guy that was the videographer became the main story, I started feeling a little uneasy. It reminds me of Grizzly Man even though that story was not a lie. It made me feel uneasy like it was a lie.

8/12/2011 4:32:22 PM

what if it was a lie?

what if it wasn't?

that doesn't matter, it was pretty rad all around.

art has had a bit of the element of the con ever since and including Impressionism

I didn't like MBW's art very much. Art is subjective when it comes to opinion. My opinion of his art is it seems he was living off the notoriety of banksy, Shepard Fairey, other street artist and Andy Warhol. I liked the part where he was documenting all of the artists work. I am interested in that movement so I am interested in his contribution in that regard.


Also, I love art. One of my BA's was art history.

8/12/2011 4:45:09 PM

well, yeah, you got it all right

that was the point... MBW's art was completely derivative

it was terrible

(another point though... is that they were extremely faithful derivatives, Andy Warhol would have been extremely proud)

the idea, probably, was the fooling of the public

both directly, though his art shows and then through the documentary

i think it's a bit elaborate, and honestly it doesn't really matter what facets the truth and lie take

I think it's all kind of neat.

I love street art too.

8/12/2011 5:29:27 PM

MBW was created by banksy to punk the art world. Also somebody ruined the Banksy in downtown Boston it's got some awful graffiti all over it. This guy is no more
