From self-help to help-yourself all the way to just plain old, help ! If you've been crying yourself to sleep over your failings as a rat athlete in the rat olympics of late-capitalist life then take comfort. Here we attempt to track, in his own words the development of Banksyisms from the 1990's to the present date. We try to separate the sincere ideas from the art pranks and provocations. Framed by the cultural context in which Banksy was working, his references and his influences.
And we ask ourselves, if Banksyism was a philosophy for living how would you follow it ? Should you even try ? Fungus grows on your collected self-help books - discover the wisdom of Banksy. You might love it. Just remember in the words of the man himself...
