Bansky is raising the level of artistic resistance. I'm just waiting to see something like this written across the invisible walls of my everyday life. Then I remember that "waiting" is half the problem. This is an important and beautiful work. Bansky is raising the level of artistic resistance.

These pieces are brilliant and brave. Of course the wall is not only a symbol of opression; most importantly, it is a mechanism of opression.

Providing folks with the background and purpose of the peices is more valueable to viewers than the documentation, of the audacity of Banksy. The peices were put on an Aparthied wall, for christ sakes, what is more audacious? The imprisoning of a group of people or the cahones of a british artist to paint on the barrier between those people. I have to admit i am impressed, and its because someone is stepping up and forcing a dialogue about present injustice, and its friggin Banksy. Thanks to Banksy for pushing the envelope, its a refreshing act, and confronts the manifesto found on www.streetartblows.com but more on that later! thanks eliot
