The upcoming Banksy Universe art exhibit in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) has sparked excitement among many. However, a few have noted a disconnect between the artist\u2019s artistic principles and the approach taken by the city management.<\/p>\n

Prior to the conflict, BGC shared a sneak peek of the Banksy Universe art exhibit scheduled for The Met Museum, on Monday April 22.<\/p>\n

In a now edited post of BGC\u2019s Facebook page, it wrote:
\n\u2018Spraying soon. Art is not a crime,\u2019 as a tease for the upcoming art exhibition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The online community was quick to inquire whether it is now permitted to paint murals around BGC\u2019s walls, which BGC responded with, \u201cWe do not condone any form of vandalism around BGC. All our wall art, murals, and exhibits are pre-approved and permitted.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A netizen reached out to Banksy\u2019s licensing company, named as Pest Control Team, Banksy\u2019s paperwork office, claiming that he was skeptical about the exhibition considering that, according to Banksy\u2019s fans, the artist would never announce where they would make art. Hence, the reason why he contacted them.<\/p>\n

After a netizen reached out to Pest Control, they asserted that the artist\u2019s work is \u201cnot involved or associated.\u201d With any display of Banksy\u2019s art in various countries, netizens put Bonifacio Global City (BGC) under fire for its promotion of the art exhibit.<\/p>\n

BGC then edited its comment, and clarified that the Banksy Universe will just be an exhibition at The Met Museum, and that \u201cart murals and executions in and around BGC remain to be curated and permitted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Netizens voiced concerns to the exhibit\u2019s organizers, pointing out what they regarded as BGC\u2019s response to the commenters. Some argued that this approach contradicted the core of Banksy\u2019s art, which frequently explores sociopolitical concerns, such as capitalism.<\/p>\n

Netizens also questioned whether the exhibit was permitted by Banksy and authenticated by his group.<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether the art exhibit will push through despite the controversy it raises in the community.<\/p>\n
