Banksy tours America

August 31, 2008

Banksy is in the news again this week. First because he tried to donate a piece of art to the Labour Party in the UK and second because he is currently taking a tour across America spreading his politically-toned outdoor urban art.

Banksy tried donating a piece of art to the Labour Party in the UK but unfortunately due to his anonymous identity they couldn't accept it. Read more about it here.

Here is the piece that was donated:

Banksy is traveling across America right now placing pieces of his graffiti art in cities that have experienced certain problems recently (and in history). On his website you can view his progress. So far he's been to New Orleans and Alabama. Can't wait to see where he goes next.

Here are a select few from New Orleans and the last one is from Alabama:

Hi readers!
I'm a Graphic Designer in New York City (Brooklyn!). NY is a hub for design and my posts will try to focus on, but will not be limited to, design related things happening in NY, such as museum exhibits, architecture, events, local artist interviews, galleries, etc. I'm very much into technology and art and how they intersect to make multimedia art installations. Hope you enjoy my posts!

I love street art. Everybody, not only the people who go to galleries, can see what message a person wants to convey, and Banksy is an excellent example of this form of art. keep it up!

Cool, nice to see street art here!

In my opinion , this is the true meaning of street art: anybody can see it and understand it.
