I blogged about Banksy earlier on, but here is another one of his projects I couldn't resist posting. This is a little more outrageous than his graffiti works. In what appears to be a pet store- perhaps because it is called "Village Pet Store"- the artist displays animatronic "pets" in the window of a store in the West Village of New York City. Such displays as Chicken McNuggets dipping in barbecue sauce, a rabbit putting on makeup, and hot dog wieners lounging under heat lamps are clear political mockeries of society. Art? I don't know about that. But, again, whether or not you agree with the guy, he is doing something totally subversive.
