i was recently shown a video portraying artwork by pseudo-anonymous british graffiti artist banksy, who apparently took over the bristol museum in the uk...and by took over, i mean he basically filled three stories of a building in 36 hours with his work while only a few staff members and the director had knowledge of his plans. banksy's art, which commonly satirizes politics, culture and ethics, is now intermixed with the museum's usual exhibits and separated into rooms by type (installations, paintings and sculptures). for example, one of his paintings was described as having "one of the characters cut out and is instead sitting on the painting's frame, perhaps taking a break from posing." that's awesome! and to get a better idea of what i'm talking about, you should watch this:
