Exit Through the Gift Shop

Post by Grandpa's Spells »

Very entertaining. Streamed it on Netflix after reading a few articles about Banksy and the Oscars.

There was talk about it being a prank, and as the movie goes into the 3rd act you can see why, but it's certainly possible the art world really is that full of shit.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

I liked it.

I also liked the idea that Banksy may have made it all up as a form of art.

All art is a con. Just find out what to give the nabobs on any particular day.

Good doc. BTW.
