Choose an example of public art from the class and discuss how you think it relates to the public domain, how is it successful and unsuccessful?
The wall is the domain for graffiti artists. Banksy is one of my favorite graffiti artistsl. Nobody can make certain about his real name. He is commonly believed and has been widely reported, Robert of Robin Banks. He was born at 1974 or 1975 and raised in Bristol in England. His street art combines with graffiti writing and distinctive stenciling techniques. Last term, I once researched one of his work “Naked Man on the wall of a sexual health clinic 2006”. The street art made by stencil with a striking and humorous image. He purposely pained it on the wall of a sexual health clinic in Bristol city of England to draw everyone’s eye. Of course, it caused a lot of argument between the public and city council. The controversy makes the public discussion to decide whether it should stay on the side of a building or be removed. However the graffiti still stays on it and more controversial discussion about the graffiti can be considered as an art or a vandalism. How did Banksy's graffiti become legitimate from subversive? What's the boundary between main stream art and street art?
In August, 2005, Banksy painted nine images on the Israeli West Bank Barrier, including an image of a ladder going up and over the wall and an image of children digging a hole through the wall. The wall was constructed by Israel during the occupied West Bank and forced
thousands of Palestinians out of their home. During the contextual lesson, we were introduced a series of his graffiti in 2007. He , as an anti-war hero, has struck again in The Holy Land. A series of his stenciled works on the security wall in Bethlehem. With six new images including a big dove wearing a flak jacket and a solder being
frisked by a young girl…. The wall separating Israel from the Palestinian West Bank is controversial. Supporters argue that the barrier is necessary to protecting Israel civilians from Palestinian terrorism. The construction is illegal.
Banksy hides his identity to doubt the unfair around our environment in the world. He struggles and attacks against the political policy, the system of museum at an unique interesting way with his brush without knife and gun. People feel more curious about him because his personal uncertain indentify make him more mysterious. I am sure his art works combine his concept and his personal philosophy is a great accomplishment. He insists the spirit of graffiti-tag, announce, space and judge. His works couldn’t make an enormous effect immediately for the policy decision, those still have change people’s mind to have further thinking to doubt the existed fact and occurred big reflection from the public. Where is his next target?
I wish one day his art work will appear in Auckland!
