I wasn’t in the US when Banksy’s ‘petshop‘ installation was opened in New York a couple of weeks back, so I went and saw it last weekend. Some very engaging art to stimulate discussion around our relationship with animals and the food we eat – although if you notice the folks in the pics, everyone seemed to be too keen on seeing the next bit of Banksy, rather than stop and dwell. Here are some of the snaps from the ’store’ on 7th Avenue.
If you’re in the city make sure you go and have a look: 89 7th Avenue between West 4th and Bleecker Street; open every day from 10-midnight till October 31st.
