Heute 2. Runde in #Banksy Ausstellung in #Bordeaux. Natürlich gibt's kaum Originale zu sehen (wie auch?). Aber zum Beispiel die Affenmaske hat er selbst getragen. Gestern habe ich schon viel gelernt.
Auch über den Ort, das Quartier bleue: der Ort, wo früher das Zuckerrohr aus dem #Sklavenhandel gelagert wurde und Bordeaux war ein Umschlagplatz, der durch #Sklaven reich geworden ist.

What happens when you wake up with a Banksy on your wall? @BBCNews looks at what happened to two homeowners who experienced exactly that. "Both artworks have been taken off the houses they were painted on — a complex, expensive operation that uses specialist equipment — so they can be sold," writes James Peak, host of Radio 4 podcast "The Banksy Story." "But while the Banksy in Margate is now on the verge of selling for well over £1m, with a sizeable chunk set to go to a domestic violence charity, and with the piece remaining in the town for the foreseeable future, the Banksy up the coast in Lowestoft languishes in a climate-controlled warehouse, costing its owners £3,000 per month."
