>>>All in all, its really less an art show,<<<<

I think, just like the murals, this is a warm up for the main event (perhaps a ghetto) on either Saturday 11.1 (the day after the pet shop closes) or Monday, December 1st. given what's legible on the rat posted just above.

So, I'm either reading too much into this, throwing myself a nice curve ball sitting here, or doing a decent job playing detective. the pet store runs until 10.31 with supposedly nothing for sale. Looking at the rat on the left below i'm guessing that when that mural is finished it will read Saturday, November 1st at 8pm. Perhaps that is when a wharehouse show kicks off?

Could be December 1st and the location of the ghetto 08??

I would say the 2 images speak for themselves the grey ghost going over graffiti and Banksy going over advertising.

If that's the case what a brilliant piece of marketing. Banksy never ceases to amaze me!

RE The ***ber 1st Date:

It was in another thread - a link to Sabeths flickr
- that shows the progress of the big rats flickr.com/photos/sabeth718/2924938023/

in this one you can still see the date underneath the white and it Says Tuesday 8pm October 1st it could be left over from what was there before and maybe Mr B had half of it left soz he is planning something on Noverber 1st or December 1st - but it didn't say that originally - or I imagine if you get close enough

but lets keep the conspiracy alive - so far so good

sabeth posted beofre pictures of the 1st ber pictures. it read Wednesday 8pm october 1st. I posted the link somewhere last night.

Now that would be something if he is actually using NY (the marketing capital of the world) to spread the news of a Ghetto show in New Orleans in December. If it is 12.1 instead of 11.1, I'll be able to fly to either location no problem and finally witness one of these in person.

monkey video up

UK customs are going to have a field day at Heathrow airport picking off people with tubes if SG08 really is in NYC.

I just got back from the pet shop it was great - The exhibit was run by the same crew who did the Bethlehem gig last year - The people looking at the foe store were mostly reporters from England and some burly looking British dudes standing outside smoking butts -

[nattymatt]

nuggets dippin themselves .....come on!!!!! what the F**K...groundbreaking ...........
Its only my opinion b4 you all lynch me..but come on .......
Banksy's takin the piss out of EVERYONE with this........This has to be a wind up...
very dull and uninspiring to me..
Nothing like the thrill of coming across previous exhibitions or pieces....
maybe i've missed the point completely...ha ha ..probably.

[Wearology]

I was being interviewed by a newspaper from England at the show - I told them that I was here because I heard about the show on our forum - after my interview was over a representative from Pest Control came over and asked me a lot of questions about our forum - It seems that they are aware of our opinions are appreciative that we did not embrace the Vermin verification system. There were a few familiar faces at the show and once I blurted out the name WIZBONG some guy yelled to me are you from the forum and than we chatted for a bit. A guy from the forum named George flew over from England for the show as well. If anyone has specific questions about the exhibit please do not hesitate to send me a PM - I do have some extra business cards from the show that they were giving out if anyone wants to make a trade - I will not sell them so please don't ask - thanks , Jon

[Grubster]

yea I don't see what the big commotion is? I think it is better advertising then work...remember this is not an art show!

SG08 has to be in NOLA..why else would their be a grey ghost piece in NY ?

[nattymatt]

oops

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if nothing else, what is most exciting about this show is that he clearly demonstrates his diversity of artistic endeavours.

[fuzzed]

Wow, this is all pretty cool! Just got back from work and saw this thread! Amazing stuff. Very different and interesting too. I recon more will be happening over the next few months.



I dunno why I put I'd just got back from the show!

Great post Wearology! ;D ;D ;D

[nattymatt]

its great that the forum is recognised ...but i really am baffled as to where he's going with this.....
i hope i'm jumping the gun and something truly great will happen....so lets see....Where's that extra bit of "something" that he always provides....? it's just not there...

Would they really hang out in NYC for 3 months for Santa's Ghetto? Doubt it.

[cakeboy]

And Banksy does it again ! he is a true superstar ! look at the media frenzy this time .What will he throw at us all next ! Amazing ... im loving that there will be no more prints for sale ! ... remember keep it real !

[ricosg11]

Just got back. Great experience. Great people workin there. The show is great but I think the best part of it is sitting outside for a half hour or an hour and just watching the people of NY. There is such a range of responses to the installation. Anger, laughs, contemplation. Lots of children enjoying the art which is also great to see. They said there is no other show happening and if this is it....I am satisfied. Shows some great progression from stencils and screenprints.

Best part was some bitch dropping any laz employee name she could think of and asking over and over what was for sale. While she "shopped" for her wealthy russian "collectors."

This is the first time Banksy has used animatronics, and the effect is absolutely amazing.
A clear departure form last year's behemoth show in Los Angeles, Banksy's first ever show in New York City (all the others have been fakes) is being held in a tiny storefront that's less than 300 square feet and can't hold more than 20 people at any one time.

One of our favorite things about what Banksy has done is that the entire show is completely visible to the public both day and night through the store front windows. And unless you're a hard core Banksy fan, or until someone like us tells you, it's absolutely impossible to know that the work has been done by Banksy. There are no paintings or graffiti in the entire space.

There ya go!

The LA show was in 2006 not last year.
