Official Mr. Brainwash Conspiracy Thread

dig

and i actually posted some tony clifton pics in a brainwash thread on the banksy board back when this whole thing first started. kaufman was a genius who created this cheesy alter ego not just as comedy, but as performance art...as a way of branching out his art and its inherent social criticism. so i don't think it's a stretch that another genius, maybe in a different type of art, could create an equally out-of-character caricature as a performance art piece to place his artistic perspective in a different context. kaufman "sold" clifton by having him host shows. banksy may be selling brainwash by having him bumble in public.

whatever. if he isn't a banksy experiment, he has absolutely haphazardly accidentally stumbled upon the century's greatest commentary on the art world. is that art? what is art? can he be an artist? what is a successful artist? are people easily brainwashed en masse? who says what art is?

y'all getting any of that out of those movie posters?

yea i've spoken with the seller they live about 10 min away from me, they owned a boutique in NYC in the 90s

theirry and his brother would create these pieces to advertise their clothing, they owned a company called TOO CUTE who specialized in clothing with characters added to them
you can find some of the clothing on ebay every now and then

I was going to comment this weekend but forgot. I remember some time ago the clothing line popping up on eBay. I think at the same time, these statues were also mentioned.

Didn't the clothing line feature Looney Tunes characters or something like that?
