If you’ve ever wondered where Banksy is, fear no more- there’s an app for that.  A new iphone app lets you know where you can find Banksy works, especially if, as artinfo.com puts it, you “find it difficult to tell his stenciled subversions from the less culturally ratified work of people like Mr. Brainwash, or from precursor artists like Blek le Rat.” Check out the whole article here: http://www.artinfo.com/news/story/38196/the-new-app-that-helps-you-track-down-banksy-inside-the-netherworld-of-mummy-smuggling-and-more-must-read-art-news/
From Dailyserving.com: No Exit ““Los Angeles might be the perfect city for Banksy,” wrote The Art Newspaper the morning after Exit’s L.A. premiere. “It’s got the glam that he loves to tarnish, a hardcore base of graffiti art supporters and it readily embraces spectacle.” But calling Banksy—the perpetually hooded artist famous for timely, pithy tagging—a tarnisher of glam and L.A. an embracer of spectacle throws two clichés together in a slapdash marriage that, if it lasts, will never be that fertile. You can only go so far as a cultural meta-critic. And would it be so wrong if Los Angeles appeals to Banksy because he has friends here and L.A. has a proliferation of tag-worthy surfaces?” http://dailyserving.com/2010/04/no-exit/
