BANSKY DOES NEW YORK
di Chris Moukarbel
Usa 2014, 75’, v.o. inglese, sottotitoli ita
Di Banksy, uno degli street artist più famosi al mondo, non si praticamente nulla: vive nell’anonimato e l’unica certezza che si ha su di lui è che sia cresciuto a Bristol, in Inghilterra. Noto per i suoi lavori di critica impietosa all’ipocrisia del pensiero dominante, all’ingiustizia sociale e ai clichè dell’arte contemporanea, coniugata a una dose di sferzante umorismo, L’elusivo e misterioso artista britannico si lancia in un’auto-proclamata residenza artistica nella Grande Mela. Ogni giorno un graffito, un’esposizione in un location sconosciuta senza alcun preavviso, che scatena una caccia al tesoro di un mese nelle strade di NY. Essendo la sua azione contraria alla legge, la vicenda però presto si complica…
ENG. The elusive British street artist known as Banksy launched a self-proclaimed month-long residency in New York City, posting one unique exhibit a day in an unannounced location, sparking a 31-day scavenger hunt both online and on the streets for Banksy’s work. But someone is not so happy about this.
If you’ve seen Banksy’s terrific film “Exit Through the Gift Shop” or enjoy his art, then you owe it to yourself to see this wonderful documentary. While no one publicly acknowledges who Banksy is and we presume the film was not make with his assistance (who knows?!), it follows the hysteria that occurred back in 2013 when Banksy had a HUGE publicity coup. He announced via the internet that he would make a work of art every day in New York City….and a sort of scavenger hunt began of his fans trying to find this hidden art. In each case, Banksy was able to make the works of art without anyone seeing him doing this and maintained his aura of secrecy. The film follows folks from October 1st through the 31st and I particularly loved it because of Banksy’s sense of humor and social commentary. Describing how he did all this could perhaps ruin the film. I suggest you give it a watch and enjoy the craziness and fun that occurred during this weird month!
