Banksy “Speaks” At ‘Exit Through The Gift Shop’ Sundance Premiere
Posted by Aaron Dames on January 26, 2010

Kevin Kelly writes in Cinematical:

The infamous street artist Banksy premiered Exit Through The Gift Shop at Sundance last night, which was part of Sundance’s “Secret Spotlight” series. In short, we enjoyed it, but there’s a lot to say about it this movie, so check back later for our review. The title itself refers to Disneyland and Disney World’s engineered design of having guests exit attractions right through the gift shop, so as to better serve all of their merchandising needs.

Banksy, whose real identity is an extremely well-kept secret, may or may not have been at the screening last night (how would we even know?), but he did send a letter which Sundance Director of Programming John Cooper read aloud to the audience. Read on for the full text of the mysterious letter, keep your eyes peeled for our reviews … and for more mysterious street art to appear.



I might note that the trash cans at Disneyland still say "WASTE PLEASE"

you KNOW there's a Banksy piece at the UO art museum, right? I couldn't quite believe it myself.
