Banksy's Pet Shop
| October 11, 2008


Just opened in the West Village, New York:  Bansky's animatronics installation "The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill"  Moving away from this stencil and street art approach, this new work is receiving rave reviews for it's commentary on our relationship with animals. 


 From the artist: "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."




The underground artist has been busy in New York. Several of his murals, all featuring giant rats, have popped up on walls and billboards in Lower Manhattan.

NOTCOT commissioned and posted an HD video of Banksy's Village Petstore (it looks far more foul, but funny in HD...):
