NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK STREET ART: MY MONTH WITH BANKSY ~ “CRAZY HORSES ATTACK!”
The accompanying audio—which is not on his 1-800 number yet, but is on his website—comes from the audio recording of an attack on Iraqi civilians in Baghdad in 2007 that was given by Chelsea Manning to Wikileaks. The callsigns of the two Apache helicopters involved in the attack were “Crazyhorse 1/8” and “Crazyhorse 1/9.” At least 12 people were killed in the attack, including two journalists working for Reuters, and 2 children were wounded. One of the American soldiers involved can be heard remarking, “Well, it’s their fault for bringing kids into a battle.”- From THE GOTHAMIST.COM

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK STREET ART: MY MONTH WITH BANKSY ~ “THIS IS MY NEW YORK ACCENT”
“Hello, and welcome to Lower Manhattan,” the message begins, as elevator music plays. “Before you, you will see a ‘spray art’ by the artist Ban-sky. Or maybe not; it’s probably been painted over by now.”
This is the latest foray into street art by Banksy, the elusive British artist, and it is perhaps the most public and expansive of his works, taking over not just a patch of sidewalk or a shop wall but a whole city. Titled “Better Out Than In,” the exhibit was announced in his usual mysterious, pop-up fashion.
