Description

Bansky's film Exit Through the Gift Shop has just gone on general release in UK cinemas, and opens in the US and other territories later in 20i0. Ostensibly a documentary about Banksy and street art, some reviewers have suggested it is in fact a movie by Banksy about the filming of street art. Banksy--as ever--remains silent about his true intentions. Whichever way, interesting art law questions arise in relation to both the filming and photographing of publicly sited artworks. Coincidentally, there is currently a lawsuit running before the US courts over the same issue. The complainant is Jack Mackie, a US-based artist who (jointly with fellow artist Chuck Greening) made and embedded into a sidewalk in Seattle two sets of bronze shoeprints, one male and one female, numbered with arrows pointing from one step to the next in order to demonstrate how to dance the mambo: Dance Steps on Broadway, 1979. The defendants are: Michael Hipple, a US-based photographer who in 1997 photographed Mackie's street artwork with the additional element of someone wearing a shoe standing on one of the numbered shoe prints; and online photo archive companies Age Fotostock America and Publitek, to whom Hipple sold his image for commercial distribution.
