Primitive Man and Supermarket Trolly

category international | arts and media | other press author Thursday May 19, 2005 20:52author by .:. ipsiphi - (well done mate!) Report this post to the editors

Remember "don't be cool".

Banksy, one of those names which has been recognised for years amongst the European underground artivism scene, not least because he thought to leave his name stencilled near his better work which left on the walls of Bristol, London, Barcelona and many other cities, helped us work out the name he likes for himself, and indeed be additionally inspired to explore the artistic and political potential of the stencil.
a work by Banksy which hung un-noticed by the staff at the British Museum in Room 41 "babilonian exhibits"
a work by Banksy which hung un-noticed by the staff at the British Museum in Room 41 "babilonian exhibits"

& now, one of his works has been found on the wall in the British Museum in room 41. its not the first time he's left fake exhibits in museums, (nor I suppose will it be the last), nor I stress is he the only one to do this.
But he is someone who is facing grief from the law, old plod and the like, for this activity, the dour ones in blue have slapped charges of fraud on him.


You can visit his own site, plug plug plug, which is here and read his own version of what he's up to:-
http://www.banksy.co.uk/
& you'll see loads of clips and links and instructions on doing the stencil thing and coverage of the recent art-actions.

By the way, as the serious La Vanguardia coverage of this crime against authenticity noted, the wheel is thought to have been invented in Mesopotamia about 5,500 years before Augustus Caesar, and the Wheeled supermarket trolley is quite reliably dated to the USA in 1937 of our common era.

Indeed, in its early form the wheeled supermarket trolly was quite a consumer durable luxury item, and the first family on the terrace with a wheeled supermarket trolly knew they had arrived.
At the start of the war, Franklin D Roosevelt came under sustained diplomatic pressure from Churchill to stop the export of the wheeled supermarket trolly to the axis powers, but one example with a stuck wheel, did appear in occupied France towards the end of 1943. At which point the Vichy regime sent the design including baby seat to the Reichschancellorship for secret weapons, and mass-production began as early as march 1944. At which point the renowned super secret agent (cricketeer and nobel prize winner) Samuel Beckett and a bunch of spanish republicans (they get everywhere) working on a top secret plan which had (it is rumoured) been hatched by Alistair Crowley & Eamon DeValera distributed "fixer" kits for a resistance style wheeled basket which could accomodate two baguettes, a sack of lentils and "papers". Though of course this could all be completely untrue, it is still under the 100 year secrecy rule.

This story was also reported in the English press, the respectable Telegraph carried it, coz they're part of the Museum-wide alliance.
