"I force myself to contradict myself—so as not to follow my own taste." For over 30 years, no one has truly known the identity of the world-renowned street artist Banksy. A mysterious nanny turned out to be one of the greatest street photographers of our time. Duchamp shocked the world by placing a signed urinal in a gallery and drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa—his so-called “anti-art” exploded all previous definitions. And the pioneers of the Fluxus movement? They insisted they weren’t against art, but against pretense. So what is art? And what isn’t? Giloo presents 8 documentaries on radical artists who broke every rule to ask that very question. And perhaps, as Duchamp once said—everything is art.
Banksy, the graffiti artist who refuses to reveal his true face. Duchamp, who placed a urinal in an art museum. Dalí, the surrealist master with flamboyant mustaches. Beuys, the madman who waved the banner of “art as revolution.” They lived in different times and places, but all wielded rebellion as their brush, creating masterpieces that transcended their era. Giloo presents 5 artist documentaries spotlighting these rule-breaking legends — Artists who didn’t just make art, but became art.
I want to understand the why, the when, and the how behind these people and these stories. The more we know, the clearer we become about what we want—or don’t want—and where we’re headed. For me, knowing is a form of pleasure.
