Is this art or is it vandalism? Whats the difference?
Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post-hurricane New Orleans to the separation barrier on the Palestinian West Bank. He fiercely guards his anonymity to avoid prosecution. In Exit Through the Gift Shop An eccentric French shop keeper turned documentary maker attempts to locate and befriend Banksy.
"Graffiti does ruin people's property and it’s a sign of decay and loss of control. 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."
What about our own THS Street Artist? Art or Vandalism?
