banksy: the provocative artist of our time

There have been several postings featuring the 'street artist' Banksy:
Jay Doubleyou: lesson stream: great lessons using video clips
Jay Doubleyou: the monarchy
Jay Doubleyou: art questions
Jay Doubleyou: a history of irony

Here's a preview of his provocative documentary 'Exit through the Gift Shop':

And a review from the Guardian:

Exit Through the Gift Shop

This teasing faux documentary about Banksy and his fellow street artists is priceless – and hilarious, says Peter Bradshaw

Banksy
Graffiti deity ... Banksy
He is Britain's newest national treasure: but he presumably won't be ... posing alongside his mum with his CBE outside Buckingham Palace in his grey topper and chimp mask. Perhaps his mum would have to wear a chimp mask as well. Street artist, situationist and public-space japester Banksy is famed for his snogging coppers, simpering apes and for debunking Israel's new West Bank barrier with graffiti. Now he takes his career of radical cheek into the cinema with a wacky new "documentary", being shown this week in the director's own pop-up cinema in an underpass in London's Waterloo before moving on to more conventional locations.
