How To Sell A Banksy (Movie Trailer)




Banksy’s work now reportedly changes hands for millions. But he puts up his street art for free. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you got your hands on one of these? Does it mean you’ve found a winning lottery ticket or just scraped some worthless crap off a wall?
Going up against the Art Establishment, Critics, Auction Houses, Gallery Owners and Authentication Boards in a quest for the elusive meal ticket, two filmmakers unwittingly gatecrash the murky and protective world of Banksy.
“HOW TO SELL A BANKSY” raises questions of ownership, authentication and the true value of art itself. Through all the chaos and incompetence comes a modern-day, true-story, crime-theft, comedy-caper.

KAWS X The Standard Light Bulbs


As KAWS describes, “I love The Standard and the different projects they have been doing. When invited to create something I wanted to redesign something basic that could be found in every hotel room in the world so we decided to make a light bulb. I like the low colored glow it gives, similar to a candle”.

Radiohead Live In LA




In January 2010, Radiohead performed at the Haiti Relief concert at the Henry Ford theater in Los Angeles and the event was filmed and its audio recorded, not by the band or show organizers, but by their fans.
Understandably, that footage went on to be scattered far and wide but thanks to the work of three fans – inez, formengr, andrea – the video and audio has been painstakingly collated to make a two DVD set of the event, which was limited on the day to just 1,400 people present. The trio then decided to make the work available on the Internet for the masses, but supported by a great idea to help those in need.
Tracklist:
Faust Arp, Fake Plastic Trees, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, National Anthem, Nude, Karma Police, Kid A, Morning Bell, How to disappear completely, A Wolf at the Door, The Bends, Reckoner, Lucky, Bodysnatchers, Dollars & Cents, Airbag, Exit Music, Everything in it’s right Place, You and whose Army?, Pyramid Song, All I need, Lotus Flower, Paranoid Android, Street Spirit (Fade Out)

Reimagining Darth Vader


Artists Carlos Villagra, Jorge Lacera, James Groman and Hydro 74 took a stab at designing the Dark Lord Of The Sith using just a few lines of George Lucas's script as a guide. The results turned out to be much more terrifying than the Darth Vader we know.
