Exit Through The Gift Shop, a film by Banksy

by | Feb 18, 2010 | POLITICS

Possibly the most visible graffiti artist in the world, Banksy has had art openings, but he rose to infamy by working in and fostering the stencil graffiti movement that is now a permanent tool in the graffiti bag. Anti-gallery and generally opposed to all that is art up until this point, Banksy’s film, Exit Through The Gift Shop is receiving praise and hate from all the right sources.
