Street Chic: Mr. Brainwash Party

Who is Mr. Brainwash? Is he the videographer Thierry Guetta, who set out to do a documentary on British street artist Bansky then became a street artist himself, or, as film critic Manohla Dargis suggests, is Bansky just playing a prank on all of us? You could closely examine the new exhibit Mr. Brainwash: Icons on West 13th Street or check out the (faux?) documentary “Exit Through the Gift Shop,” both opening tomorrow, for any clues. Or you could stop asking questions and start dancing and drinking champagne: neither Mr. Brainwash nor Bansky will stop you.
