Exit Through the Gift Shop

Recently I watched Exit Through the Gift Shop, which is a documentary about street artists and graffiti and the impact that it has on those leaving their 'mark', and those who see it left behind on their towns buildings.  There were many street artists in the video including Banksy, Space Invader, Shepard Fairey and Thierry Guetta.  Through out the documentary all of these artists are interviewed and discuss what it is like to share their art with the world, even though it is considered to be illegal.  They also discuss their hardships and all that is involved with making and producing their work, as well as the dangers and time that is involved with putting their work up in public.  Banksy also discusses the issue of what 'true' art is, and how someone comes to be active in the graffiti world.  Below is the link for the video that allows the viewer a glimpse into the world of the street artist.
