Can't afford a Shepard Fairey print in these hard times? If you really want an investment tip, buy signed pictures of Mike Bancroft in front of Shepard Fairey's art work outside of the ICA in Boston August 14-16. All proceeds will be invested into more prints of Mr. Bancroft in front of Mr. Fairey's art work and any additional profits donated to youth arts education. Here is a segment of an interview Jason Foumberg did with Mr. Bancroft in New City.
"Mike believes that the recent fight over copyright and fair use, as embodied by the Shepherd Fairey versus the Associated Press legal battle, is important, but misunderstood by Fairey himself. As an artist who appropriates images, Fairey has gone on to sue other artists who borrow his own trademarks, notably Obey. As a parody, Mike will set up a lemonade stand outside Fairey’s museum retrospective in Boston, and sell touristy photographs of himself posing with Fairey’s art, as a way to sell Fairey’s art itself. Mike expects that police will get involved, but for him, it’s just a way to uphold his view that we’ve got to open ourselves up to get things done. "
