Mr. Brainwash is either a genius or the luckiest art-world hustler on the planet. Either way, his story is an interesting paradox of streetwiseness and seeming mental illness. Turns out he is the main character of ‘Exit Through The Gift Shop,’ the Banksy documentary that has been buzzing since Sundance. While most folks, including me, thought it unusual for the most notorious clandestine artist would be appearing on camera…

A film premiered at Sundance last night about an artist that couldn’t be filmed, or wouldn’t. “Exit Through the Gift Shop” is about a French shopkeeper and an amateur director that wanted to make a documentary about the prolific, and famously secretive artist named Banksy.

While Banksy’s takeover of the Bristol Museum has been in the news, because many of us haven’t been able to peep what is described as his “biggest ever”, we had to make mention. We have been fans for some time, but were pushed into frenzy after his LA show a few years back which resulted in hysteria.
