Graffiti Wars 2011 - channel4 (by bombsmacked)
A great look by Channel4 at Graffiti vs Street Art, and the feud between King Robbo & Banksy.
From Wikipedia: “On April 2, 2011 King Robbo sustained a serious life threatening head injury … He is now out of the intensive care unit and making steady progress.”

How to steal Banksy work from its original street location
We feel dirty just watching this, but we felt we should post this video of art dealers stealing, taking, ripping Banksy’s work from a 2007 trip to Palestine (some of his best work in our minds) because, well it is interesting to see art dealers go to these lengths to steal, rob, take, rip a street art piece from a wall for a gallery show across the world.
I’m not surprised. I think street art like this is only really valid in it’s original context. We can under stand the politics and appreciate the work at that level, but the environment where they were created adds a whole other level to the work.
