Pop goes the art world
Actually, we went beyond pop to other things more "real".
In this case more the world of graphic art taken to the high end. Big money.
Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010)
continues the arguments about the nature of art but also reminds us to look all around us to see.
I have viewed this before and I like the people. Banksy appears with a screen and an altered voice.
It is hard to separate the shit from the shinola but that, in itself, pretty much describes the range. The best of it, no matter which and what, will still be a polish and not the shoe.
All these people seem to enjoy kidding themselves but of course most art is about life's jokes on us.
Terry Guietta is the guide and Terry has a few tricks up his sleeve as well.
I liked this enough to see it twice and so that makes it a 5 out of Netflix5.
