Banksy Opens Secret Exhibition In Bristol

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Arts & Culture | Banksy in secret exhibition stunt



Having made previous mention of Banksy with regard to last year's BBC Radio 4 presentation, The Drawings On The Wall, I thought I'd post this link to a free exhibition that has just opened in his hometown of Bristol.

The entire event was prepared beneath a thick cloak of deep secrecy, and apart from 2 people collaborating with the artist, the rest of the Council was completely unaware of the show until its opening was announced - it transpires that even the exhibition organisers didn't knowingly meet the reclusive artist, as part of the deal was that his anonymity remained intact.

Check the link at BBC News for more info, and here's the Bristol Museum link.

El Pais also has a nice feature, Banksy Ya Es Profeta En Su Tierra, looking at the artist's vision of the future.
