I
There is no more Banksy exhibition
says Alexandra Lambert from Strokar Inside. This event was organized by a German company, "On Entertainment", which rented a part of our space. When we learned through a formal notice from an English law firm, that there was a problem of legality with this exhibition hosted on our premises, we were forced to react. "
Steve Lazarides, former Banksy agent and designer of the exhibition, as well as the owners of some of the exhibited works, argue that the German organizer did not have permission to mount this event in Brussels and that the problems with society On Entertainment would have started as soon as the exhibition arrived in Berlin.
Caught between two fires, the non-profit organization Strokar Inside preferred to take the lead by putting the works in the shelter. Following an urgent request to the Commercial Court, she obtained that the works were put in receivership.
"On Thursday, two ushers accompanied by three persons specialized in the transport of works of art came to proceed with the packing and the sequestration. "
Not easy to get a refund
Apparently, things did not go smoothly, the German organizer also made the trip. So much so that the police were called on the spot to ensure the smooth running of the operations. Since the exhibition is closed, which is not without problem for the amateurs who had bought their ticket of entry by Internet.
"We can only send them back to the German organizer since it is from him that the entire booking system depends. The problem is that Friday, the lawyer of "On Entertainment" has arrived in turn, ensuring that all this would be resolved in two or three days and that the exhibition would reopen. Which is not the case at all. "
