“documentary” film Exit Through the Gift Shop, a film by Banksy.  Following the viewing and subsequent discussion in class you will write a 2-3 page paper answering the following questions…
What is the true nature of art?  How does consumerism affect art?  Can art be owned by a consumer?  What is the difference between art and vandalism?
and finally…Is this all an elaborate prank?  A fake?  Did Banksy pull a fast one on all of us, and if he did, what is he trying to say about art, politics, and society in general?
