Is the slightly mad Frenchman from LA, whom we met in the film "exit through the gift shop", a great artist, or as many believe, part of a giant hoax by Banksy and Fairey. This is further fuelled by the fact that no-one has actually seen Mr Brainwash working. However by his own admission, he is the ideas man and a team of technicians put the work together. The same can be said of Damien Hirst.
The tight security akin to a visit to the crown jewels, or perhaps more like a visit to a jewellery store in New Bond St. The dark glasses and suits the clue here adds to the fun of the exhibition.
No-one was able to tell me how long the re-opening is extended to, but I would recommend making your way there soon.

An interesting piece that you've shown us. I wonder if these fellows will be remembered for their art or for being a mystery. I kind of like this piece.
I really enjoyed 'exit through the gift shop'.
I won't get to see this exhibition but I don't feel too bad about that. :-)
Looks utterly fascinating! Would love to pop over and visit it.
I think I go with the hoax idea but it is fun anyway!
You can record another vote in the hoax column.
Always fun with a mystery every now and then.
Mr Brainwash exhibition is highly interesting even if it full of Pop cliches...
