well i'm sure you're all seeing the news outlets going ham on banksy's nutsacks. I find it quite amusing how people get all upset that banksy pieces are getting dissed in less than 24 hours of them going up.
For those that don't know, stop living under a rock, step away from your computer, see real life...

Video: Savvy East New Yorkers Now Charging $20 To See The Banksy
Earlier today Banksy posted a photo of a new piece in East New York, setting plenty of street art fans in the direction of the neighborhood. But only those who got to Bradford and Pitkin early enough got to see it free of charge. After one man failed at trying to chisel the piece out of the wall, another group came along and took ownership. Since then they've been covering the piece with cardboard, charging people $20 to see and photograph it. Here's what that looks like:
One woman who works in East New York and went over to the scene told us:
"They have been guarding it for a while drinking heavily, so who knows. They are pretty angry about how many white people are coming here. Side note, I have some cred here because I work close to that spot. The general feeling is that nobody cares about this neighborhood and now that they have something of value they should benefit. Omar's name came up several times and they are not going to allow anyone to deface it. They didn't charge me because one guy has seen me around. They reported that several yellow cabs have pulled up with people wanting to get a look. They are firm about the $20 fee and tried to warn me when I left about the crews from the area projects robbing people who look like they don't belong. They wouldn't let me take a picture, but were happy to let me take a nice long look while blocking some others who had not paid."

Banksy may be the hero Gotham deserves, but he's not the one it needs right now, or something, according to the NYPD, which is making his arrest a top priority. The department's legendary Vandal Squad, which aggressively pursues graffiti artists, is reportedly on the hunt for Banksy. "They want to question him in connection with the vandalism,” one law-enforcement source tells the Post. "If they catch him, he will be charged with vandalism."
101713nypdheat.jpegAt a press conference yesterday, Bloomberg signaled that Banksy is, and should be, in the NYPD's crosshairs. "Graffiti does ruin people's property and it's a sign of decay and loss of control," the mayor said. "Art is art, and nobody’s a bigger supporter of the arts than I am. I just think there are some places for art and there are some places [not for] art. And you running up to somebody’s property or public property and defacing it is not my definition of art. Or it may be art, but it should not be permitted. And I think that’s exactly what the law says."
According to the Post, the mayor’s office says the city will remove any Banksy work on public property, such as the 9/11 installation we discovered at the Brooklyn Promenade.
Yesterday a Red Hook warehouse was revealed to be a staging ground for Banksy and his crew—investigators could conceivably subpoena the owner for documents about who rented space there. Or they could pull over one of the drivers of Banksy's trucks and transfer him to a CIA black site until Banksy turns himself in. Last night we sent an intern to attach himself to the bottom of the Banksy waterfall truck, Cape Fear-style, and we'll let you know what he learned if/when he resurfaces.

right they hunt banksy down who is bringing culture an art to the city, while bloomy allows big money real estate to tear down the little culture (5 points) we have and replace it with luxury apartments.
they did this with arc and its happening all over the place, lets hope de blassio can make the city a nice place to live for both the affluent and the middle class. |
