[문화]Banksy says it’s a ‘fake’… Can I open an exhibition without the artist’s permission?

[앵커]

Banksy, a graffiti artist who satirizes war, inequality, and the snobbish nature of modern people, is also known as the so-called faceless artist.

A Banksy exhibition is being held, and it is controversial because it did not have the artist’s permission.

Reporter Lee Seung-eun reports.

Banksy, who suddenly appears on the street and blows a witty blow to the established order,

The price is soaring, with a painting that satirizes a member of the National Assembly as a chimpanzee sold for 15 billion won, and a work depicting a hero in the Corona era was sold for 22.4 billion won.

Exhibitions introducing Banksy have popped up all over the world, and are being held in Korea as well.

The problem is that he didn’t get copyright permission from Banksy, who is completely hiding his identity.

Banksy also said that there are about 20 exhibitions under his name on his website, but none of the exhibitions agreed with him are ‘fake’.

[이환선 / 뱅크시 전시회 마케팅 총괄 : 그 작가한테 허락을 득할 수 있는 방법은 지구 상에 존재하지 않습니다. 그리고 여기에 들어가는 작품에 대해서는 (뱅크시 매니지먼트사인) 패스트 콘트롤도 하나하나 어떤 설명을 넣는지까지 인지하고 있는 상황입니다.]

Most of the exhibits are reproduced or reproduced in a different form by taking an image rather than the original.

This seems to be because Banksy’s works are mostly graffiti painted on the street, and exhibitions are being held overseas at the same time.

It is also a problem that it is not properly notified whether it is a reproduction or a reproduction.

[미술계 전문가 : 어떤 작품도 작가의 허락 없이 복제, 사본을 금한다는 게 저작권의 가장 기본적인 조항인데, 뱅크시라는 작가가 일단 얼굴 없는 작가로서 그런 작업을 통해서만 세계 무대에 각광 받는 작가이다 보니까 그걸 이용해서 돈벌이 수단으로 삼는….]

Controversy is growing as it is pointed out that street art is difficult to convey values ​​properly in the exhibition hall.
