I've always had an appreciation for artists that embrace the fact that art is ephemeral, and I personally hate the notion of trying to preserve art permanently, so naturaly I'm drawn to public art in general. I just had to comment on how freaking absurd it is to me that anyone would care about smoking near a print of a painting that was meant to disappear anyways. I also hate how people capitolize on art that wasn't intended to be a product to begin with (though I'm image searching for the particular rat I want as a tattoo, it's not much different). Thanks for the interesting post. That's all I just found this while doing a search.

They are entirely full of shit with their stories about where the artwork came from. No respect for the work, the staff were smoking in the gallery. They even ripped of Banksy's images and screenprinted them (cheaply) on tshirts and sold them for $50 out of garbage cans. It was an embarassing show.

Don't call the crowd "ignorant street art groupies." You were there too, and even if they liked the exhibit, they're not ignorant. Lack of common sense has nothing to do with them being there; honestly, I'd go too if I could see a lot of Banksy work in one place, crappy or not. Are they supposed to search all over the city to view it instead? While the exhibit is lame (and lamely done), your snobbery sucks.
