Made famous by the film Exit through the Gift Shop as legendary street-artist Banksy's alter ego, Thierry Guetta, a.k.a. Mr. Brainwash, has continued to produce provocative and playful Pop art. His work hungrily appropriates contemporary visual-art masters and cheekily tweaks the nose of gallery-based convention. His unique tribute to the style icon will be seen wildposted all over town.

He will be engaged in multiple projects during the Festival, including a significant, multiple-piece exhibition at Gallery One. (In collaboration with Gallery One, 121 Scollard Street, September 8 to October 22.)

His presence will also be felt outside Roy Thomson Hall, with his spray cans towering over the red carpet, providing emergency assistance for evenings requiring additional glamour and pomp. (Presented at David Pecaut Square, 55 John Street, September 8 to 18.)

And, finally, he will collaborate with TIFF on “Grace Kelly: From Movie Star to Princess,” our fall exhibition.
