Aberdeen art festival to premiere Banksy documentary

AN ART festival in Aberdeen will show the UK premiere of a Banksy documentary, it has been announced.

The artwork was brazenly stolen in the dead of night and the culprit has yet to be found and the documentary, directed by Edoardo Anselmi, tells the story, but with a teased twist ending.Martyn Reed, the curator of Nuart Aberdeen, said: “To be the first with anything to do with Banksy these days, particularly outside of huge international media and PR channels is unheard of, so in that sense it’s very much a coup.

“In addition to transforming the streetscape, we’re stimulating conversations about art and its place in the cultural landscape.”Reed also teased that there have been recent developments in the Banksy stolen artwork saga and has speculated there may be a new ending to the story. “If you’re interested in anything to do with this artist, his work, street art or true crime documentaries, then it’s probably something for you.”

“Carlo McCormick is a certified legend in urban art, a friend to the stars of the New York art scene such as Haring, Basquiat, and many others, so this will be an event to remember.
