Brendan To Banksy: Please Leave!
That visual charlatan known as Banksy has been in New York for the past month, littering our fair city with his “art” (pictured is a Coney Island doodle) and making pronouncements about our landmarks. He concluded his New York residency on Thursday with an inflatable installation and a call to save a famous graffiti space slated for destruction. “This is a sideways take on the ubiquitous spray-painted bubble lettering that actually floats,†said the now familiar audio narrator who explains some of the works on Banksy’s website, where the artist been posting a piece each day of his stay in New York. “It’s an homage of sorts to the most prevalent form of graffiti in the city that invented it for a modern era. Or it’s another Banksy piece that’s full of hot air.†You can say that again
