Custom-fit for the site, The Art of Banksy: Without Limits exhibition includes several experiential areas and more than 150 of the artist's works such as certified originals, prints, photos, lithographs, sculptures, murals, and video mapping installations.
The thought-provoking experience allows an up-close perspective of some of Banksy's most iconic artworks, authentically bringing the spirit of street art to the indoor exhibit.
The artist, whose real identity has not been confirmed, is regarded as one of the most valuable and talked about artists of modern times. Visitors can get insight into Banksy's life and work through uniquely presented works, promising and delivering an impressive must-see experience that celebrates and educates about his art.
Other highlights include "Dismaland" installations from Banksy's 2015 pop-up Bemusement Park, prints of "Flower Thrower" and "Kissing Coppers," and the sculpture "Phone Booth." Other surprises include a section dedicated to Banksy's activism related to immigrants and a completely immersive "infinity room" addressing politics. Visitors are also invited to join the spirit of Banksy's activism by spray painting their own T-shirt with a $2 donation to the M.V. Louise Michel organisation.
Muse Marketing and Entertainment marketing director Kemal Gurkaynak said the artist loves to provoke, shock and even disturb society, which he does with humour and poetry.
"Banksy has the unique ability to express through his works some truths that most people don't have the courage to say out loud, and nowadays, we need to be sincere, empathetic and caring to one another more than ever. This is what Banksy's art does: it has the power to unite people with ideas and values that can change the world for the better."
This travelling exhibition has been seen in Brisbane, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Berlin, Bucharest, Cluj, Budapest, Riyadh, Vienna, Warsaw, Seoul, Atlanta, Miami, Charlotte, Chile, Seattle, Mexico City. The exhibition is famed for its unique installation in each location, ensuring a new and innovative experience for every visitor.
The Art of Banksy: Without Limits is open in Adelaide from August 24-September 28. Tickets start at $39 for adults and $27 for children. The organisers recommend 45-60 minutes for customers to enjoy the experience.
