Our Film Staff Editor, Cassidy K., got together a wonderful event this past week to collaborate with Wooster Activities Crew to show "Exit Through The Gift Shop".
Summarized, "The story of how an eccentric French shop-keeper and amateur film-maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner. The film contains footage of Banksy, Shephard Fairey, Invader and many of the world's most infamous graffiti artists at work."
Following the showing, film staff facilitated a brief discussion about the movie, performance art, and how modern art is shaped by social media and how quickly things can be captured and spread on the internet.
