Welcome to Banksy's Village Pet Store And Charcoal Frille



“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."
~ Banksy
Again, another genius critique of our twisted sense of appreciation. The shop opened last Oct 5. (World Teacher's Day ito, stray) and will run until Halloween. This is the first time Banksy used animatronics. Maybe Star City could invite the englishman over. Tingin nyo?
