One of the biggest surprises of Art In The Streets was the inclusion of Banksy, who I don’t think was mentioned on any of the publicity materials. Or maybe I just had no idea he was going to be there, either way, I was pleasantly surprised to see his work. It ended up being a mix of both older and newer work, as well as several old stencils that are almost iconic with the idea of Banksy, much like the ‘Andre the Giant Has A Posse’ sticker and Shepard Fairey. Randomly, he also included the piece of paper above, which was sitting on the giant, bloody flattening machine, which gives some important information about his part of the show.
First is the fact that his part is an ongoing project, and will shift and change as the exhibit goes on… or he may have just been late. It also describes that the giant cathedral tag window was done in collaboration with the City of Angels school, showcasing the work of a ton of kids. It also notes that the taxidermy dog was not killed by Banksy, it was found in a freezer, so don’t get all crazy about that part. Overall I thought his section was really great, I definitely spent a little while looking at his pieces and smiling. Maybe Banksy isn’t getting boring…?
