ON THIS EXCERPT
We discuss a new Banksy exhibition in New York City that's stirring up controversy. The catch? It’s unauthorized by Banksy himself. A collector has created an indoor labyrinth with replicas of Banksy's work, allowing people to see it all in one place, but without Banksy's permission.
We're Torn: on one hand, it seems wrong to display and charge for art without the artist's consent. On the other, Banksy is known for rejecting copyright norms and wanting his art accessible to all, though the $30 ticket fee contradicts this ethos.
The debate touches on the legality and ethics of replicating art, Banksy's unique stance on copyright, and the exhibition's impact on the original context of his street art. The clip ends with the hosts undecided, acknowledging the complex, rule-breaking nature of Banksy's legacy.
