Mr. Brainwash

I recently watched this documentary about street artists. I remember 
a close friend of mine recommending this film a couple of months ago.
but i totally forgot about it.  "Exit Through the Gift Shop" is a phenomenal 
film about a frenchman named Thierry Guetta who through a videotaping
obsession discovers the world of street art.  He begins his journey by 
videotaping his cousin and Parisian street artist, Invader, who is known by 
his mosaic pieces of Space Invader.  Claiming to be a film maker, he manages 
to infiltrate the secretive world of other known street artists such as 
Shepard Fairey, as well as Banksy, notorious British street artist. It is then 
that his life changes forever. When Banksy discovers that Mr. Guetta is not 
really a film maker, he encourages him to become a street artist. 
Mr. Brainwash is born.


Though I don't support Mr. Brainwash's approach to creating art, I really 
enjoyed this film and it helped me appreciate street art a little more.

I saw this piece while i was in Paris. I remember it always caught my 
attention every time I would pass by it. Even though this one in the 
photo is not the one in Paris.
