" but he didn't. He basically decorated someone else's artwork and made lame attempts to "think outside the box" with his faux extensions of paintings (like the alien spaceships and the waterfall piece) that only took us a few inches off the canvas. He could have rearranged the works thereby changing their context, extended them into each other to create truly interesting re-interpretations, gone crazy on a wall and incorporated existing pieces into an installation, but he just played around like some dude hanging goofy art in his man-cave. “The museum literally gave him an open ticket to go crazy . . . ” but he didn’t.

The museum literally gave him an open ticket to go crazy, that takes some balls. I read the previous comments, but i still believe the show is pretty amazing.

Is Banksy all Schtick? Or is he just the Emperor of Bro? Or is he the last artist who's still dreaming? I just can't tell anymore. That painting of a Burka-clad woman in a "hot chick" novelty apron is fucking hilarious, though. But I'd like Banksy more if he showed it where it mattered.

But an organized show almost defeats the point of his work....it's like I have to pretend he's still pissing the museum off, otherwise it's no fun. Like if a president paid a crowd to protest him, the protest becomes bunk. They're working for the president. Banksy is so freaking genius.
