Banksy Show Opens With 200 Rats

Banksy Show Opens With 200 Rats

By Guy Brighton on October 18, 2005

Pretty well known street-art fella Banksy opened an exhibition of his work last week with 200 live black rats living in the expo space’s front window. The title of the show is ‘Crude Oils’ and promises to be a gallery of remixed masterpieces, vandalism and vermin.The show is only open for 12 days.

Interestingly, the Londonist reports that someone’s donw a Banksy and gone in and put up their own artwork piece (a pastiche of Magritte’s Son of Man)!
