Exit throught the gift shop…

So I went to see the Banksy Movie yesterday. It was held in the tunnel where the cans festival has held so time ago. Not sure what the deal is there but I think banksy must have bought the place or come to some kind of arrangement with local council??

That place is amazing, somehow it has become a graffiti legal area, there where about 20 people down there painting. everyone just goes over anything. There were not much rules other than no racism or adverts.

Made me think It would be nice if Hosier lane was like this, instead of one person trying to curate the whole thing.

the set up for the cinema was pretty impressive considering there was only going to be 10 shows there.

So plenty of Melbourne heads get there 2 seconds of fame. mainly in the intro part of the movie where it talks about all the great stuff people are doing…

I snapped this shot of the credits, you can see Crate Man, James Dodd, GRL (aust), Ash Keating, Michael Porter, Rone, SYNC, HA-HA & Vexta all got a mention which is pretty good to see so much australian representation. Big thanks must go to Nicholas Hansen who sent much of the footage from RASH that made the final cut of this movie.

I could tell you all about it but really that would spoil it for you. the general story is about Mr Brainwash and how he came to be. It’s just a view of how this whole art world is based of false values.

Definitely go see it when you can.
