I decided to start Film Thursdays with Banksy's Exit Through The Gift Shop. I consider Banksy one of the most thought provoking contemporary artists. He has put street art at the forefront of respectability with amazing stencils all over the world. Its simple if your great at what you do your talent wont ever be denied. Banksy stenciled his way to prominance and now continues to make meaningful work that never goes unnoticed. Exit Through The Gift Shop gives a little insight on Banksy's work but tells more about the world we live in. A world where art is misinterpreted by trends, money, hype, and stupidity. Its a satire on the current state of art that has no substance. Banksy pokes fun at the establishment and continues his growth as an artist through film. We can only hope as a society that rebels like Banksy continue to inspire and work from the most important place, the heart.
