  • grillcover, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2I look forward to the evolution of Banksy's career, if he's going so far from graffiti to installations like this one... it's an overlay of Art onto the Real in a truly remarkable way. I can't wait to check this out.
  • citizenrobot, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2Love this guy. Crams so much political commentary into each piece and then everything is also fricken hilarious. Now that's some good arts, yo.
  • StrangeFamous, on 10/15/2008, -0/+1I think you'd instead call it an art "installation", since it's an entire new space as art, instead of artwork that's been added to a building or surface or sculpture that existed previously.
  • StrangeFamous, on 10/15/2008, -0/+1"The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little."
  • oblomoloko, on 10/09/2008, -0/+1Is this still street art?
