    Page 54 Unit 4: Art for the people

    0.00–0.34 Presenter This art-lover in Cheltenham is willing to go to extreme lengths to


    expose a hidden art work. That’s because beneath these wooden boards and scaffolding is a
    mural by one of the world’s most famous and elusive artists, Banksy. Banksy’s spy booth
    appeared in April, making fun of the issue of Government surveillance in the home of
    GCHQ, the intelligence and communications headquarters in Cheltenham. Now the owner of
    the property wants to sell the artwork and the wall it’s on. It’s caused protest from the local
    community.
    0.35–0.49 Resident 1 It’s about GCHQ. Of course, this is the best place for it. It’s … it’s
    something for the town. It’s public art really. Umm … it’s not meant to be in private hands
    and to be seen by just a few people in someone’s house.
    0.50–0.59 Presenter When the scaffold went up, it was hoped it was just for building
    maintenance. But it’s since been reported that a collector has bought the work and plans to
    take it out of the town.
    1.00–1.14 What happens to the piece ultimately remains something of a mystery: whether it
    falls into the hands of a private collector or goes into a gallery for people to see. But one
    thing is for certain: the people here in Cheltenham are so keen to see it, they’re willing to tear
    these boards off themselves.
    1.15–1.22 Campaigners argue that because the spy booth relates directly to Cheltenham, it
    belongs here and to the community.
    1.23–1.29 Resident 2 It’s become such an important thing here. It’s brought the people in
    from all over the world to see it.
    1.30–1.33 Resident 3 This type of art is public property. It should be free to everybody.
    1.34–1.43 Resident 4 I think the setting is ideal. It’s set round the telephone box. Mmm, you
    know, … it epitomizes what Cheltenham should be.
    1.44–2.08 Presenter The sale of the mural has re-started the debate over what’s public art and
    what can be bought by a private individual. The Slave Labour mural which appeared on the
    side of a discount store in North London was removed and sold at auction for around three
    quarters of a million. The one person missing from this campaign is the artist himself, who
    remains anonymous. Perhaps it’s time for the real Banksy to stand up.
