AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The phrase "I AM AN IMBECILE" (IO SONO UN IMBECILLE) refers to a famous artwork by the artist David Shrigley, created for Banksy's temporary project known as Dismaland. It was a temporary art installation designed and set up by Banksy and lasted for thirty-eight days, from August 21 to September 27, 2015, at Tropicana, a derelict seaside pier in the tourist town of Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, England. The exhibition presented itself as an anti-Disneyland amusement park. The artist, in addition to funding the construction of the show, contributed by creating ten new works. Up to 4,000 visitors were admitted per day. The installation’s name is an English portmanteau of the terms dismal ("gloomy, dreary") and land ("land"). The balloons were distributed during the show, making them highly sought-after collectibles.
Plastic material bears the inscription, in white on a black background, "I AM AN IMBECILE".
The dimensions are height 80 cm, width 58 cm.
It will be shipped folded and well packaged in a rigid box and securely sealed.
It can be framed to enhance its significance.
It comes with a park-entry document bearing the name, which has been redacted for privacy, of the person who visited the Dismaland park.
