I have not really kept up with the whole Banksy thing. Looking at your photographs some of it is amusing but it seems to depend so much on juxtaposition. It's the kind of thing you find in any half-decent Final Year Art School exhibition.
Alan: It's heavily laced with irony and much of it is very amusing. You are correct about the juxtaposition. He has modified a number of existing exhibits and put his slant on them. The caravan with an eviction notice is an example - it's been on display at the museum for years and is well known locally.
I refuse to comment because I'm sulking : you confused Kabbalah and myself a couple of days ago and I consider this to be as unforgiveable as spelling msitkaes.
kapgaf: I feel for you. I wouldn't want to be mitsaekn for me either. Chairman: Surprisingly impressed with the Banksy exhibition - thanks for taking the time to post all of these piccies.
Kabbalah - I meant it not as an insult to your fine self but as an indication of the rapidity with which our Chairman is reaching an advanced stage of decrepitude.

I have seen a lot of this work on the internet and would love to go. It seems like some queing is involved if the News is anything to go by.
