You are not alone — ten hidden gems curated for the one with a unique taste!
Looking back on 2021—a year shaped by a disrupted daily rhythm, rising geopolitical tensions, and unforgettable moments on the Olympic stage—Giloo presents nine of the year’s most popular films. We hope each one leaves a lasting impression on your heart.
"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.
From atypical figures to trailblazers, how did the artists of the last century transform the meaning and form of viewing? Following the destruction of order by world wars, the human desire to reshape new values manifested in Dadaism's anti-mainstream stance, student movements' anti-authoritarianism, hippies' anti-war sentiments, and the civil rights movement. Diverse social trends nourished artistic thought, and an anti-traditional fervor spread globally. These artists challenged established social norms, extending existing art forms to the very boundaries of perception and vision. This film list draws inspiration from Fluxus artist and "Rainbow Artist" Ay-O.
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.
In 2022, we find ourselves constantly surrounded by art. The devotion, creativity, and craftsmanship poured into a single garment by a designer — that is wearable art. The serenity we feel when venturing into the mountains or stepping into a temple — that is reverence for nature, the most organic form of art. To the artist, art can be a precise calculation, a challenge to the limits, or a stirring portrayal of the masses and their stories. Art can even be a radical force for social change. Long before you ever “knew” art, it had already seeped into your everyday life. On this sleepless night, take to the familiar streets and experience the resonance created when art intervenes in the city.
