Why a Banksy exhibition in Glasgow makes perfect sense

Retrieved on: 
Friday, June 23, 2023

A new solo exhibition by Banksy, the UK’s most famous anonymous artist, has opened at the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) in Glasgow – his first in 14 years.

Key Points: 
  • A new solo exhibition by Banksy, the UK’s most famous anonymous artist, has opened at the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) in Glasgow – his first in 14 years.
  • It is, Banksy says, his “favourite work of art in the UK”.
  • His early transgressive artwork was seen by some as vandalism, but for many others, Banksy is an important counter voice subverting the dominant narrative of capitalism.

The Glasgow-Banksy connection

    • It holds great meaning for Glaswegians in its anti-elitist and anti-establishment message, contributing to their social and cultural capital.
    • It’s also a reminder of the extent to which the expression of all forms of culture have been central to Glasgow’s regeneration over recent decades.
    • But the connection between Banksy and the city goes much deeper.

What to expect

    • A critique of the often-racist nature of police stop-and-search powers, it sold in May 2023 for an astonishing $9,724,500 (£7,646,277).
    • While creating this work on a bombed-out building, a local resident remonstrated with Banksy and threatened to call the police.
    • A shared sense of humour, humanitarian values and a disregard for the establishment mean Banksy’s show will be well-received in Glasgow.

How British imperial history shaped Charles III's coronation ceremony

This gave her authority even over those areas of India which were not formally subject to British rule.

Key Points: 
  • This gave her authority even over those areas of India which were not formally subject to British rule.
  • To give this change of title a formal announcement in India, the British authorities staged what became the first of three durbars – ceremonial events held in the British Raj to formally proclaim the imperial title.
  • The first coronation of a British monarch since 1953 comes at a time of reckoning for the monarchy, the royal family and the Commonwealth.
  • George’s coronation in Westminster Abbey invested him with all his imperial titles, so what would be the impact of being “crowned” in India?

Coronation and the commonwealth

    • The 1931 Statute of Westminster formalised the evolution of some former colonies into self-governing dominions within a British commonwealth.
    • The coronation oath, a legal requirement dating back to the Coronation Oath Act of 1688, has been amended on various occasions, taking account of former colonies which have become republics.

Elements of empire

    • Even the medieval roots of the coronation have elements of empire built into them.
    • One item of the crown jewels is a stark reminder of empire – but it will notably be missing from the coronation ceremony.
    • The controversy about the Koh-i-Noor will doubtless continue, but won’t intrude on this coronation ceremony.

A new-look guest list

    • The biggest move away from imperial tradition has been in the compilation of the guest list.
    • Charles III has departed from precedent by issuing invitations to monarchs from Europe and the Middle East, regardless of whether or not they had ties to the British empire.
    • Some other heads of state are also attending, though the US will be represented by the first lady, Jill Biden, rather than the president.
