Tag: Better Out Than In
As was expected, the next piece of Banksy’s “Better Out Than In” series is this truck full of squealing stuffed animals. It’s called The Sirens of the Lambs, and it’s apparently going to be rolling through the Meatpacking District today. The audio guide isn’t working for us, but we’ll update if and when it does. UPDATE:The truck […]
Here’s the latest piece in Banksy’s Better Out Than In series. It’s a lot bigger than what we’ve seen before, spanning the sides of both a car and what looks like the back of a box truck, and depicts three horses wearing night vision goggles along with warplanes, crosshairs, and anguished-looking people. It’s somewhere on the Lower East […]
It has been exactly a week since Banksy started putting up work in Chelsea, Red Hook, Greenpoint, Bushwick, Williamsburg and the Lower East Side for his highly-hyped New York “residency” Better Out Than In. A photo of each piece would first pop up on Banksy’s official website with a name of a neighborhood and a bit of door, wall or […]
That was fast. The door on Freeman Street where Banksy put his “Plato” piece in Greenpoint has already been completely removed, hinges and all, leaving an empty entranceway. Michael, the owner of the building (he didn’t want to give a last name), said he’d be taking the door off the premises, and that he didn’t […]
Banksy was a little later than usual in posting his Better Out Than In piece today, but a few minutes ago, his website confirmed that it’s in Greenpoint. Not much to go on this time: just a light blue door with some bricks next to it, and the text of the piece itself: I have a theory […]
We don’t get sentimental when it comes to street art getting defaced, no matter who it is. After all, the genre is born out of graffiti, an illegal art form that has a long history of intense competition and writers going over other writers. Having said that, it seems like New York’s taggers (and unwitting […]
After Banksy teased the Internet with a video of rebels shooting down Dumbo as part of his Better Out Than In series, it was assumed that the street artist’s latest work would pop up in the Brooklyn neighborhood with the same namesake. Today, he updated his site with an image of a bandaged red balloon–a […]
Today’s Banksy update doesn’t involve a stencil or a roving installation, it’s a piece of video art. “I’m not posting any pictures today. Not after this shocking footage has emerged…,” reads the post on his BanksyNY website along with a YouTube clip. It depicts jubilant Muslim rebels in what may be vintage Afghanistan Syria, shooting […]
“A New York delivery truck converted into a mobile garden (includes rainbow, waterfall and butterflies),” reads the description on Banksy’s site for “All City,” the most recent addition to the street artist’s Better Out Than In series. “The truck will visit a different location every evening from dusk.” Housing the installation inside a truck and […]
It was only a matter of time before Better Out Than In, Banksy’s month of working on the streets of NYC, ventured outside of Manhattan. And unsurprisingly, the first outer-borough works arrived in Williamsburg and Bushwick. The street artist gave a few pieces of citizen graffiti a “Broadway makeover,” slapping the phrase “The Musical” over existing […]
