See Banksy's "Pet Store" exhibit in NYC for the last week by Grant Martin Oct 27th 2008 @ 2:00PM
Rebel artist Banksy's Pet Store exhibit enters its last week starting today, so if you haven't had the chance to see the creepiness first hand, stop by Seventh Ave. to check it out. The exhibit, featuring a variety of animatronic foodstuffs (and vice versa) closes this Friday and is a dialouge on the treatment of animal's in today's culture.
Says Banksy:
" New Yorkers dont care about art, they care about pets. So Im exhibiting them instead. 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. I took all the money I made exploiting an animal in my last show and used it to fund a new show about the exploitation of animals. If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art."
So just how creepy is the exhibit? Take a look at some of these chicken nuggets hanging out near the henhouse and tell me that you didn't just lose your appetite. Yuck.

Bansky’s British invasion: Ironic rats, weird pets
By AnnMarie Costella
Banksy, a British graffiti artist known for lampooning politics, culture and ethics, has created a disturbing animatronic world in which chicken nuggets dip themselves, hot dogs copulate and rabbits wear makeup. His powerful juxtaposition of animal and human behaviors will leave viewers questioning their consumer habits.
The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill, at 89 Seventh Ave. South, is a faux pet shop created for the sole purpose of Banksy’s art installation. A sign outside advertises, “Rare Breeds, Pet Supplies and Mechanically Retrieved Meats.”
Inside, realistic-looking animals and products made from animals move with eerie precision. The shelves are stocked with pet food, luncheon meats and TV dinners, none of which are actually for sale. The radio plays twangy country-western music, making the store seem stereotypically American.
In one window, a tiger appears to be lounging in a tree, its tail moving to and fro. But inside the store, viewed from the other side, the tiger turns out to be a fur coat with a label that reads, “Maurice Rothman, Chicago.”
Another window displays a barnyard scene with a stern-looking hen watching over baby-chick-shaped chicken nuggets, as they dip their heads in a packet of sauce. In the background, a hatched egg reveals a newborn nugget squirming to break free.
Nearby, a large, white rabbit wearing mascara and eye shadow gazes in a mirror and files its nails. Banksy has turned the tables on the inhumane cosmetics industry by constructing a ludicrous visual image that asks, “What if the animals we test makeup on actually wore makeup?”
Six rectangular glass tanks line one wall inside the store. Hot dogs and sausages slither in sand, lap up water from a small metal bowl and eat from a food dish containing green olives. In one tank, tiny yellow droplets drip from a vertically hung French’s mustard bottle. It is quite comical the way the hot dogs eat and drink the condiments that usually accompany them.
In the center of the store, a large Tweetie Bird sits inside a rusted bird cage that hangs from the ceiling. Banksy shows what would happen if a pet parakeet was constantly tormented and lived in fear (in this case, of Sylvester the Cat — Tweetie’s nemesis). Birds often lose their feathers when suffering from “stress molt” or “fright loss.” The familiar cartoon icon is completely bald and its bright-yellow feathers are strewn about the bottom of the cage.
Despite the powerful imagery, there is nothing in the installation to indicate that eating animals, wearing fur or keeping animals in captivity is wrong. Rather, Banksy registers his dissatisfaction with human treatment of animals by maximizing every inch of the space to create a world that is unnatural and uncomfortable, thereby forcing us to reevaluate our actions.
When Banksy presents a monkey surrounded by beer cans and pizza crusts, watching and rewatching a Discovery Channel clip of monkeys having sex, as if he’s some fat guy watching porn, the effect is truly sickening. It makes one wonder whether gawking at animals in captivity is a perverse invasion of their privacy.
The show’s subtlety is also its strength. If Banksy had chosen a more forceful approach, his work might have come off as the rant of an animal-rights extremist and drawn comparisons to the PETA members who threw red paint on fur coat-wearing women in the 1990s.
Consumers don’t think about the animals they eat while they are eating them or about the animals their fur coats came from while they are wearing them. But when Banksy combines the images of animals, both dead and alive, denial is impossible.
We are forced to realize that we use animals for our own selfish purposes.
However, the decision on whether eating animals or wearing their pelts is right or wrong is still left up to the viewer. Some might look at the chicken-shaped chicken nuggets and be disgusted, while others might see them as a quirky illustration of the food chain.
The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill is a fascinating, weird and outrageous spectacle that must be experienced firsthand. Just don’t ask: “How much is that chicken nugget in the window?” It’s not for sale.
The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill, 89 Seventh Ave. South, between Grove and Barrow Sts. is open daily, 10 a.m. until midnight, until Oct. 31.

Banksy • The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill, by wiz on Oct 31, 2008 15:08:03 GMT 1, At midnight tonight all the robotic animals will turn into 18th c. French / Austrian aristocrats and ban cinderella (Banksy) back to the scullery to do all the washing up (street painting), they then take flight in their cars (pumpkins) back to their chateaux and discover it was all a dream. I need a life so bad.

Banksy • The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill, by ejvaze on Oct 31, 2008 21:00:21 GMT 1, And for all of you that never made it You have only to a few hrs go before the doors close forever and the show closes midnight NY time today. There is not even enough time now to hop on a flight and get a cab at the other end to the show.
I thought this was a superb show and well worth going I enjoyed every minute of it small though it may have been. I visited it many times while there, both day and night.
I just hope now it is not just packed up and put into storage or split up. I'd personally like to see it put on Loan to some large international contemporary art venue and the Pet Store recreated so more can experience this show. OK a different experience to a NY Street but seen none the less.
I must say I am completely fed up re all the talk of business cards in some of the other threads on the subject of the Pet Store. Members seem so desperate to have a souvenir / something to trade because of the lack of anything for sale that they have latched onto the business card. I am NOT saying your all going to trade your cards BUT This is NOT what it was all about and if you all wanted a souvenir you should have made the effort to go. I'd be interested to know the numbers who went from the UK?
senna vazie stuey09 alsbabar FPR carlito and Monstris
Who else went?
It would be interesting to see the numbers of people that went compared to those that went to Bethlehem back in December.
I don't mean to be negative or down toward this forum but all the chat of business cards is I find Very annoying.
This trip was for me, as memorable in a VERY different way, as going to Bethlehem last December.
This show says to me that Banksy is a Fine Artist with a great deal more to say and I look forward to the future years ahead.
Well done to Banksy and all that made this show possible. The girls and boys who stood there every day behind the counter patiently listening to and answering naive and often unthought out stupid questions calmly answering 'Nothing for sale' or 'No it is not real' over and over again ;D ;D
Here are a few of my personal souvenirs, memories from the The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill show and Not a business card among them
Happy Halloween ;D
Cute though she may have been I thought this very sad.... all for the sake of vanity. I wonder if her paw is now completely worn away with all the filing she has done in the past weeks

I hope in the future Banksy doesn't have work for sale at the exhibitions.
It's also great to see a list of people who came over to NY from the UK not just to flip a piece but to see a great show

If this is the bit where everyone jumps down my throat and tells me of all the great things Vazie does for the scene and charity then please don't bother.
Some of us live in a world where making ends meet is difficult and maybe we wanted a little something of the exhibition (I didn't as it happens) even a postcard. Going to New York is certainly not an option in my wildest fucking dreams so it was never a question of 'making the effort'.

Seems like you've lived a great one so far though. Happy you enjoyed our little city over here and can't wait to explore yours as well as the Faile show next week. Hello London, good bye airline miles.
