Banksy





Banksy has been hitting hard latley in NYC . Im not going to discuss the hating. Im just going to embrace the art.

Last week "The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill” opened at 89 7th Avenue between Bleeker and West 4th. These are pictures from it








New Yorkers don’t care about art, they care about pets. So I’m exhibiting them instead. I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing. I took all the money I made exploiting an animal in my last show and used it to fund a new show about the exploitation of animals. If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art.”












The shaved tweety really got me =(
