So, I said to Thierry, right, you have the footage. You can tell the real story of what this art is about. It’s not about the hype. It’s not about the money. Now is the time. You need to get your film out.”, 51:51

Malat

  • "Some insist that Mr Brainwash is a fake, or at least an art experiment himself - a character created and directed by street art mastermind Banksy in order to highlight how the art industry and market are fuelled by hype and marketing."

Ebert

  • streszczenie fabuły:
"An anonymous London graffiti artist named Banksy arrives to paint walls in Los Angeles. He encounters an obscure Frenchman named Thierry Guetta, who has dedicated his life to videotaping graffiti artists.
The Frenchman’s hundreds of tapes have been dumped unorganized into boxes. Banksy thinks they might make a film. Guetta makes a very bad one. Banksy takes over the film and advises Guetta to create some art himself. Guetta does, names himself Mr. Brainwash, and organizes an exhibition of his work through which he makes a fortune in sales."
  • reportaż z wystawy: L.A. Weekly on June 12, 2008
  • to nie może być wymyślone: "Common sense dictates that no one would rent a CBS studio and fill it with hundreds of art works in order to produce a hoax indie documentary. "
  • Guetta przez lata filmował graficiarzy: "Its footage really has been edited from a decade of tapes made clandestinely while L.A. graffiti artists risked arrest and death to create their paintings in spectacular places."
  • wnioski
    1. “Exit Through the Gift Shop” is an admirable and entertaining documentary;
    2. I believe it is not a hoax;
    3. would not much want a Thierry Guetta original;
    4. I like Thierry Guetta, and
    5. Banksy, the creator of this film, is a gifted filmmaker whose thoughts, as he regards Guetta, must resemble those of Victor Frankenstein when he regarded his monster: It works, but is it Art?"

Catsoulis

  • prankument
  • prankument: ""Exit" could be a new subgenre: the prankumentary. Audiences, however, would be advised simply to enjoy the film on its face – even if that face is a carefully contrived mask."

Burr

  • narracja szkatułkowa: " a conceptual Chinese box: a documentary about a filmmaker that’s directed by the subject the filmmaker was too inept to actually make a film about. It’s also one of the best, most karmically satisfying comedies of the year, much to the chagrin of the people who are in it."
  • parodia bierze się z zamiany ról: "Fine, said Banksy, I’ll be the filmmaker and you be the street artist. And that’s where “Exit Through the Gift Shop’’ takes off into the parodic stratosphere, as Guetta adopts the nom de spraycan Mr. Brainwash and goes about the business of selling himself to the art-elite masses of LA."
  • czy film jest udawany?: "Is the movie itself a put-on? Several critics have raised the possibility that “Exit Through the Gift Shop’’ is just another Banksy con game, an art-world “Punk’d’’ that lets him and his little pals laugh all the harder at us. I’m not buying it; for one thing, this story’s too good, too weirdly rich, to be made up. For another, the movie’s gently amused scorn lands on everyone. That great, weary title carries an echo of P.T. Barnum’s “This Way to the Egress’’ — a sign promising a zoological novelty, it led only to the door out"

Willmore

  • czy to na pewno prawda? "At the end of "Exit Through The Gift Shop," a few of us Googled the name of its subject to make sure he actually exists. I'm sure we weren't alone -- "the world's first street art disaster movie" is also the first movie from pseudonymed British art star Banksy, who's never had a problem being playful with the truth before"

Felch

  • pytania: "Did the clever Banksy — the film’s credited director — create Guetta to mock the art world? Is Guetta — who shot much of the footage — actually a paid actor playing a savant-like character invented for the project? Or, as some have speculated, is he Banksy himself?"
  • mistyfikacja? "The film suggests that Guetta’s artistic alter ego is largely a creation of Banksy, a notion Guetta doesn’t refute."
  • Guetta - jestem dziełem Banksy'ego: "Banksy captured me becoming an artist,(...) In the end, I became his biggest work of art.”
  • Guetta - born in 1966 in Garges-lès-Gonesse, suburb of Paris, his father was a Tunisian Jews who had moved to France to escape persecution, his mother died when he was a child
  • 1990s - Guetta bought a house on Mansfield Avenue, and a commercial property on Fairfax.
  • 1999 - trip to France; meets Space Invader, his cousin
  • 2001 - $600,000 credit, 3E Entertainment, "Life Remote Control", with Joachim Levy
  • 2006 - meets Banksy
  • Banksy: "It was at that point I realized that Thierry maybe wasn’t really a filmmaker. He was maybe just someone with mental problems who happened to have a camera."
  • “He gives me a brush and a can, and he took the camera,” Guetta said, adding that Banksy went as far as to tell him what month the show should open.
  • June 2007, $320,000 credit for the show
  • spring 2008, registering websites, new alter ego, Mr. Brainwash; Banksy contact Jaime D'Cruz about making a street art documentary
  • June 2008, exhibition "Life is beautiful" at abandoned CBS’s Columbia Square studios
  • 2009, Madonna “Celebration”

Leopold, 2010

  • Banksy: "I continue to find the rise of Mr. Brainwash absolutely fascinating, (...) His art sells for roughly double what mine does these days. Gore Vidal once wrote that 'Every time a friend of mine succeeds, a little bit of me dies.' I'd amend that to 'Every time one of my friends borrows my ideas, mounts a huge art show and becomes a millionaire celebrity,' a little bit of me wants him dead."

Knegt

  • letter from Banksy at the film's premiere at Sundance Film Festival: "Everything you are about to see is true, especially the bit where we all lie."

Gout

  • złudzenie optyczne: "façonné sous forme de trompe-l'œil"
  • MBW z żebra Banksy'ego: "Thierry Guetta n'est plus et Mr Brainwash naît, involontairement, de la cuisse de Banksy."
  • idea żartu wydaje się utopijna: "Connaissant la démarche artistique de Banksy, détournant constamment ses médiums, sujets et supports, il est légitime de se poser la question d'un éventuel canular où Thierry Guetta serait une invention pur jus. L'idée de la blague, bien que fascinante et sous entendu, par Guetta ou Banksy, dans l'épilogue, reste semble-t-il utopique."
  • sztuka MBW jak TP'in, czyli zawijanie w papier toaletowy: "L'œuvre de Thierry Guetta se définit ainsi comme un genre de « TP'ing »(2) artistique, annihilant tout contenu."
    • "(2) Le « TP'ing » : action de recouvrir de papier toilette un objet, une structure ou un lieu. Celle-ci est notamment célèbre, durant la fête d'Halloween, aux Etats-Unis, où des demeures sont prises pour cible."
  • "zombification" of humans: "En résumé, si l'on arrive à vendre un article comme sensationnel et capital, une pléthore de bipèdes, aveuglée par la réclame positive, s'amassera comme des glues pour découvrir ce produit faramineux. En cela, Mr Brainwash a bien réussi à asservir le badaud en effectuant un lavage de cerveaux digne de ce nom."
  • MBW jak Jeff Koons: "Car tout comme Mr Brainwash et d'autres, celui-ci, entouré d'une armada d'assistants, prône l'art comme une marchandise."

  • kwestia autentyczności Guetty: "Though the resulting film, Exit Through the Gift Shop, can’t possibly provide a definitive answer regarding Guetta’s authenticity as an artist,"
    • "this ambiguity and the unlikely events chronicled have led some to accuse the filmmakers of staging an elaborate hoax."
  • wywiad:
    • Jaimie D'Cruz o Banksym: "His pitch was, I want to make a film about this amazing French guy who's been making a film about me"
      • o poznaniu Banksy'ego: "We tracked him down and I hung out with him for a couple of nights. He was an impressive young [man], quite clearly ambitious, but a deeply secretive person even then. (...) Meeting him even in 1998 or 9, whenever it was, it was like meeting a CIA mole or something."
      • W tamtych czasach wielu chciało zrobić film z Banksym: "Of course I was excited that he wanted to make a film, because everyone was trying to make a film with Banksy. And they don't even get a "no." There's no answer. You can't even ask the question. "
      • Life Remote Control: "It's an absolutely astonishing feature length bit of torture."
    • Czy obecność ekipy filmowej Banksy'ego dokumentującej pomogła wypromować show Guetty?: "JDC: Not really at all. I don't think the process of us making the film was the thing that made Thierry's show extraordinary. But it's probably also true to say that Thierry wouldn't have done an art show unless Banksy had suggested to him to go and do an art show."
    • relacja Banksy'ego i Guetty - na filmie: "Thierry, as you see in the film, was absolutely enraptured by his relationship with Banksy. He couldn't believe that this man that he'd been idolizing for so long had let him in and they'd become friends. He was in awe of him."
    • Guetta nie filmował dobrze samych prac: "CK: When we found this stuff, it was all kind of visceral, exciting stuff, but he never took any shots of the actual work. At the end of it he never stood back and got a nice steady, locked on shot of the piece. So obviously it was going to be very difficult to make a film where we looked at the art"
    • powiedzenie Guetty: "JDC: (...) "I can only go up. For me, I am at ze bottom, and now I can only go up."
    • Wystarczy być: "JDC: Chance the Gardner from Being There, the Peter Sellers' film, which is basically about an idiot savant, who, through his innocent pronouncements about the world, is interpreted by the world as a crazed genius"
    • Guetta nikogo by nie oszukał: "I know that Thierry would never in a million years - it's just not in his makeup, it's not in his DNA - try to punk everyone by making crap art and selling it for lots of money. He wouldn't understand that concept. He just makes art."
    • Guettcie nie przeszkadzało to, że nie umiał robić sztuki: "NP: Because Thierry didn't let the fact that he couldn't make art get in the way of putting on an art show, "
    • zarzut, korzystanie z pomocy podwykonawców: "NP: He did sub-contract some of it though."
    • odparcie zarzutu: "Yeah, but so does Damien Hirst. The factory system is an ancient venerated system that goes back to The Renaissance."
    • kim jest artysta "JDC: (...) being an artist means having something to say. If you've got something to say, you can get monkeys to make it if you want - if they're conveying your message"
    • Banksy mu nie pomagał robić sztuki: " Banksy didn't make any of the art in Thierry's show. "
    • byli zaskoczeni skalą działań Guetty: "anybody, particularly Banksy, realized that Thierry was going to take it and run so far and so high with it all. But from Thierry's point of view I'm sure, having spent all that time with the kind of major players who had put on huge shows, when it came to that point where Banksy casually suggested that he go and do this little show, Thierry just sort of regurgitated all that stuff that he'd absorbed over a decade of hanging out with these guys."
    • różnica między Guettą a resztą, uprzednia wiedza o sztuce: "So the question of prior knowledge about artists and their process, and how you view the art, is another one that came up as we were making the film. It is a pertinent thing, particularly when you see Shepard, Banksy and Invader, who all have very clear motivations about why they're making art, clear intentions about where it's going to go and what it's going to mean and what they want to say. In knowing that, you view their work in a particular way. With Thierry, you're not quite sure what that motivation or intention is, and perhaps Thierry wouldn't be able to answer that question either."
    • Banksy - MBW a Warhol: "One of the shrewder observations that Banksy makes in the film is that Andy Warhol was genuinely interesting because he took the banal and the every day and he turned meaningless objects into art. Then he says, "But then Terry really made them meaningless.""
    • artysta naiwny "Thierry, in a slightly outsider artist, unknowing, instinctive way,"
    • patrzenie z góry na Guettę: "The whole thing of going around for years, obsessively filming and putting things in boxes and never watching it, it does feel like some kind of situationist art thing that he was doing, but he just wouldn't be self-aware enough to realize that you know."
    • "He's a walking installation."
    • popularyzacja streetartu: "Thierry was the conduit by which a mainstream audience and a not necessarily aware audience would be able to learn about street art"
    • to nie parodia: "But when it's actually on the record that this is a mockumentary, that it is a hoax, that's not acceptable really. I don't think you can state that as fact, because we're stating it as a clear fact that it's a true documentary. I mean it is a crazy film, and it does stretch your credulity. That's why the film has power because it's an absolutely fucking crazy story. But the fact that it's crazy doesn't mean it's not true. There's been so much speculation about it, and I think that it's good for them to ask the question, and now we are able to answer that question. It pisses me off when you read in serious newspapers that the film is a mockumentary. That's not true"
    • "It's a classic example of reality being stranger than fiction definitely."

Mullan

  • Banksy: "Andy Warhol was replicating images to show they were meaningless, and now, thanks to Mr Brainwash, they’re definitely meaningless."
  • MBW kontynuuje karierę: "However, Mr Brainwash continues to make a lot of money out of very bad art – whether he is serious about it or not – and that's the terrifying thing."
  • Banksy, sztuka to żart: 'Maybe it means art is a bit of a joke,' Banksy says plainly. 'Mr Brainwash didn’t play by the rules, but there aren’t supposed to be rules, right?'"

  • Schnack do Banksy'ego: "you were alone in your conviction that Thierry could and should be the narrative focus of the film - long before his show in LA that concludes the movie."
  • kwestia samodzielności pracy: "[Schnack:] It's clear in the film that you rely on a team of people to create your artwork. (...) B: I paint my own pictures but I get a lot of help building stuff and installing it. I have a great little team"
  • nikomu ze środowiska nie podobał się film, uważają, że MBW nie zasługuje na taką uwagę: " they all hate this fucking film. They don’t care if its effective, they feel very strongly that Mr Brainwash is undeserving of all the attention. Most street artists feel the same."
  • Banksy o prawdziwości filmu:
"Obviously the story is bizarre, that’s why I made a film about it, but I’m still shocked by the level of skepticism. I guess I have to accept that people think I’m full of shit. But I’m not clever enough to have invented Mr. Brainwash, even the most casual on-line research confirms that.
Ordinarily I wouldn’t mind if people believe me or not, but the film’s power comes from the fact it’s all 100% true. This is from the frontline, this is watching an art form self-combust in front of you. Told by the people involved. In real time. This is a very real film about what it means to ‘keep it real’."
  • Banksy o filmie jako sztuce: "I think its pretty clear that film is the pre-eminent art form of our age. If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel. Film is incredibly democratic and accessible, it’s probably the best option if you actually want to change the world, not just re-decorate it."

  • "I find it more satisfying to believe that EXIT is a mockumentry. I think the footage of street artists working are mostly real but my credulity was stretched to the breaking point near the end when MBW is getting his "show" together. I think the quantity of art he had produced with assistance was beyond what I could believe. Plus there were many enigmatic statements at the end that clinched it for me."

  • "the very strange Disneyland expedition, the very fact that Banksy was willing to let himself be continuously filmed by a seemingly genuine yet clumsy half-wit who could have easily had his film appropriated by the vice squad members he sloppily interacts with. It's all a bit too bizarre for straight dope." (Frayed Knot | January 10, 2011 at 05:58 AM)

"John Cooper, director of the Sundance Festival, said the story was so bizarre that he questioned whether it could be real.
"Exit Through The Gift Shop is one of those films that comes along once in a great while, a warped hybrid of reality and self-induced fiction while at the same time a totally entertaining experience," he added.""

This is quite possible and is indeed the suspicion of many commentators. Certainly there are no extant independent authorities in the film: no dealers, or critics offering any comment or otherwise. Banksy and Fairey are listed as directors. We all know the potential of film to lie at 24 frames per second, a potential accelerated by the conventions of the truth telling genre: documentary."

    • hoax: "Except, as I and a lot of other folks believe, it's all made up. It's a hoax, it has to be, it's too hilariously perfect to be anything but. Banksy, as a street artist, has seen the perception of his works - by design temporary, and by design defacements - change from graffiti into art that needs preservation, that is cut out from walls and sold. Banksy, in making Exit Through the Gift Shop with Fairey and Guetta has found a way to deface, scrawl over and heap lighthearted disdain all over both himself and the people who snap up his art"
    • Ale nie mockumentary:"It's spectacular, it's brilliant and all the more so in that it's still a documentary, still a record of events. It's not artificial, not a mockumentary in the way that Spinal Tap is. MBW exists, having been created by Guetta or Banksy or both, and the film documents his arrival. Exactly who it is that arrives is the film's mystery."
