Review of Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010) by Peter S — 08 Nov 2011
Since virtually anything can be considered art, the term has become virtually meaningless. This documentary proves it. Exit Through the Gift Shop marks the feature-film debut of notorious street artist Banksy.
Exit Through the Gift Shop is a provocative and absorbing exploration of what constitutes art, the creative process and the power of hype to triumph over talent. The widespread speculation that Exit Through the Gift Shop is a hoax only adds to its fascination.
Like Banksy's best street work, it pushes and prods our gullibility buttons and sends the mind swirling with questions of artistic authenticity and intent.
