Banks British street graffiti exhibition
? I was handsome in 2009, but now I can't. Drink too much and throw up!
The museum is a P, and the world famous paintings is a crane, which is the same ridicule and ridicule.
I was stabbed in the hand before I went in to visit the Banks Street Art Exhibition. Going to the exhibition was teased by the bank. Oh, it felt like being sold pork by the bank.
Banks is so bold that even the English goddess has not been spared.
? Banks was born in Bristol, a city in the southwest of England, and is a representative figure of street graffiti culture in Britain today. It is precisely because of his appearance that graffiti culture has attracted more and more attention from the so-called mainstream. All the changes that have taken place are dismissive of the rebellious and restless street graffiti in adolescence. No matter how popular the media is, Banks, a lonely and invisible man, still refuses to show his face. When he doodles in the street, he still chooses to disguise himself.
? Graffiti will also appear in places you can't imagine. Banks believes that this is what rebellious British diaosi youths and angry British youths should do. They continue to smear a considerable degree of political satire on the streets of Britain, express their dissatisfaction with anything, and publicize their rebellious graffiti of youth at will.
The origin of graffiti culture
? According to Baidu Encyclopedia, graffiti culture originated in the United States in the 1960s. Actually, this is a beautiful misunderstanding. According to scholars' research, the earliest graffiti culture appeared in the prehistoric period of human culture. The time can be traced back to about 30 thousand years ago. At that time, people used animal bones to collect special pigments and carved the earliest hieroglyphs and murals in prehistoric caves. These murals usually appear in sacred places, such as places of worship and etiquette. They also carved on the wall the scene of labor at that time, the running of wild animals, how to hunt and so on. The discovery of these murals is considered as the earliest graffiti behavior of human beings.
As for modern times, the occurrence of modern graffiti is certainly not in the streets of American legend. Archaeologists have found traces of human graffiti on rocks and stones on the surface of basalt-dominated deserts in southern Syria, eastern Jordan and northern Saudi Arabia. Others continue to search for historical relics of graffiti culture in the tombs of ancient Rome and Pompeii. The word Graffiti in English comes from Italian graffiti.
? Regarding the origin of the most modern graffiti culture, historians and archaeologists agree that the birthplace should be
? Ephesus-Ephesus (called Ephesus-Ephesus in Turkey) in the 0/3rd century AD. It was a city-state in ancient Greece and later became an important Roman city during the Roman Empire. It is located on the west coast of Asia Minor and now belongs to izmir province.
? The history of graffiti can be traced back to the United States in the 1960s. At that time, the United States was turbulent and full of possibilities. The civil rights movement, the new left movement, the anti-war movement, and various movements have come and gone. Social value system and moral standards are constantly being impacted. At this time, due to the spread of dissatisfaction with the Vietnam War in the United States, people began to launch vigorous political criticism and political resistance. Graffiti culture, as a means to vent the dissatisfaction of American "diaosi youth" and "fenqing youth", appeared in the subway of new york at this time.
? The historical and cultural origins of graffiti culture have no special significance. Modern graffiti has been far away from the artistic conception expressed by ancient murals, and it is no longer a simple worship of the gods. But it still retains the tradition from the day of graffiti, and it truly records this era, which may be great or terrible.
Graffiti culture can be seen everywhere on the streets of Britain.
? Walking in the streets of Britain, you will occasionally see a lot of graffiti on the walls, even buildings on street corners. Just like the story of new york's graffiti. The earliest graffiti in Britain is also a way for young people to express their protest. With the participation of young artists, graffiti culture has become more and more distinctive and tasteful. Later, with the participation of many angry young artists, street graffiti culture reached its peak. Banks from Bristol in southwest England is one of the main representatives.
? Nowadays, street graffiti in Britain has great room for creativity appreciation, which will attract collectors' attention.
? A graffiti painting by London street graffiti artist Banks once sold for $500,000 at the auction house. This is by far the highest price for street graffiti works. In fact, collectors who buy Banksy's street graffiti works are also very sad. After he bought street graffiti, not only how to protect his works is a big problem, but also how to take them down well without destroying the graffiti on the wall. It is said that the collector finally paid about 5,000 pounds to repair the Banksy graffiti on the wall, and then completed his collection wish.
? I used to live in a small town near Bristol and have been to Banks' hometown of Bristol many times. There are many early works of banks in the streets of Bristol, and there are also many graffiti by authors who don't know their names. A city's tolerance for some whimsy that doesn't meet the public's taste is a manifestation of the progress of this place. The rebellious psychology and rebellious tolerance towards young people have penetrated into many modern countries with tolerant environments.
Banks Banks challenged the Bristol Museum.
? In August 2009, the Bristol Museum invited Banks to hold an exhibition of Banks' works in the museum. More than 4000 people watch the exhibition every day, which became one of the most popular exhibitions in the world that year. Following the style of Banks, this exhibition was named "Banks VS Bristol Museum".
? As expected, the exhibition works are full of satire on politics and dissatisfaction with the current social situation. What is shocking is not only the charm of the work itself, but also the tolerance of the British government to the work. In several works, there are incredible graffiti objects. The British Parliament, famous sculptures, the British government, the symbol of Great Britain, and even Queen Elizabeth II. Someone asked Banks why he was so bold. He said, This is the idea that everyone wants to express. I just express the public's ideas through my works.
? People asked him why he painted the queen as a monkey. He said, do you still think that politicians who rule the world are crazy? Turning the queen into a monkey is just an exaggerated expression, and there is no intention to denigrate the queen. What did Banks do? The Queen's Office didn't issue a warning or negotiate about it. The Queen doesn't care, and her old man accepts that Banks has turned your British Parliament into a monkey meeting, and no one dares to call and ban banks.
? Later, the exhibition "Walking Out of the Gift Shop" in Banks Bristol was auctioned for a high price of 200,000 US dollars, which is said to be collected by an American collector. His documentary of the same name "Going Out from the Gift Shop" (the film "Virgo" shot by Banks) was nominated for the best documentary at the 83rd Academy Award, and was called "the world's first street art disaster film" at that time.
? Bristol exhibition works touched all aspects of society, and McDonald's was spoofed. A McDonald's uncle is sitting in front of the museum. I guess there are two purposes: first, this place (museum) has been changed into a McDonald's shop. Second, Uncle McDonald should jump off a building and thank the world for producing junk food. Swimming in the fish tank is not fish, but a piece of fried fish sticks. Elephants carrying missiles, injured Buddha statues, monkey paintings in cages, mord sticks of Britannia, the patron saint of Great Britain, being watched and so on. A bold and exaggerated smear tells us what is happening in the world.
? It took me nearly two hours to queue up for the bank exhibition. The entrance needs confirmation. The staff at the gate put a red seal (Banksy's graffiti seal) on everyone's arm. The entrance is free and there are many visitors. There was a long queue, and after getting started, I was stamped with a red stamp. Hi! It feels like being sold pork. Perhaps this is the bank's nifty compromise style. The declaration of British diaosi cynical youth. If you want to see my things, you have to accept my rogue conditions first. Just like the world today!
