"Banksy Versus Bristol Museum": Guerilla Art Exhibit in a Burned Out Ice Cream Van

Underground guerrilla artist Banksy put on an exhibit at the Bristol's City Museum and Art Gallery. Always looking to showcase and reaffirm his well-crafted reputation as a subversive artist, Banksy has installed his work at the Bristol's City Museum inside a giant burned out ice cream van.

The Telegraph.co.UK newspaper states, "The van, which sits under a giant melted cone, appears alongside dozens of sculptures, oil paintings and his trademark stencils.

The exhibition, called Banksy versus Bristol Museum, consists of more than 100 items, including a sculpture of a riot police officer astride a child's rocking horse and a moving display featuring chicks as chicken nuggets.

An original Damien Hirst painting has a giant stencil of a rat painted over it and part of Banksy's "Bog Henge" - an imitation of the Stonehenge circle made from portable toilets from the Glastonbury Festival - also appears.

A collapsed brick wall lies across the atrium's floor beneath dozens of stencilled subversive satirical and political messages."

‘The people of Bristol have always been very good to me - I decided the best way to show my appreciation was by putting a bunch of old toilets and some live chicken nuggets in their museum…’ Banksy

Banksy's Latest Really Weird Work - The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill

This is the Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill that opened 4 days ago in New York City. However, there are no pets and no charcoal grill in here. Instead, what looks like a live leopard quietly lounges atop a tree branch, two McDonald Chicken MacNuggets sip barbecue sauce, a rabbit is putting on make-up in front of mirror and a CCTV camera takes care of her "offspring" and so on. Sounds crazy? The store which is open to the public everyday from 10 am until midnight, is the latest prank or--art installation if you prefer-- by the elusive British street artist Banksy. The "Pet Store" which will be open until Halloween day on October 31, is located at 89 7th Avenue between West 4th and Bleeker Street in the West Village.
