The Intersection of Art and Commerce
Anyone who cares about art, design, film, creativity, and/or the art world should not miss the film “Exit through the Gift Shop” by the elusive street artist Banksy. Like Banksy, it is sly, funny, subversive, and brilliant. What supposedly began as a documentary about some of the most notorious street artists, including Banksy, becomes a portrait of the compulsive man behind the camera, an examination of the creative impulse and the nature of art and the art market. And it is great fun, as well.
Is street art fine art or graphic design? A mash-up of both? We would argue the latter, and the act of making it is a large part of the message.
