Banksy Pulls Off His Biggest Exhibit To Date
Banksy installed his most recent exhibition at the Bristol Museum completely in secret. Only a few top museum people knew about it and the museum told the public the museum was closed for a few days as it was being used for filming a movie. Banksy’s exhibit opened this morning.
What fun!
Banksy said: “This is the first show I’ve ever done where taxpayers’ money is being used to hang my pictures up rather than scrape them off.”
Staged in the council-owned City Museum and Art Gallery, Banksy v Bristol Museum features animatronics, installations and a sensory display. — bbc

Yeah, I really like Banksy’s work. My friend B. fed me the bbc article – he’s on British time so it was waiting for me when I woke up :)

Woops – totally forgot the important bit:
“The show runs until Monday, August 31, 2009 and includes over 100 works, including 78 new pieces never seen before.”
