Banksys Petting Zoo


Banksys says:
“New Yorkers don’t care about art, they care about pets. So I’m exhibiting them instead. I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing. I took all the money I made exploiting an animal in my last show and used it to fund a new show about the exploitation of animals. If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art.”
Ever the canny marketeer, Banksy’s once again been out pounding the streets of the Big Apple to coincide with the launch of his new pop-up store.
