BRONX, NEW YORK STREET ART: MY MONTH WITH BANKSY ~ “SHOE SHINE”
Here are some pics from two Bronx locations today.
From untappedcities.com:
For Day 16, Banksy has created a fiberglass replica of a sad Ronald McDonald having his shoes shined by a real person outside a McDonald’s in the South Bronx. According to Banksy’s website, “The sculpture will visit the sidewalk outside a different McDonalds every lunchtime for the next week.”
The accompanying audio guide says “Ronald [is] arguably the most sculpted figure in history after Christ” The sculpture is “a critique of the heavy labor required to sustain the polished image of mega-corporation…Does this era have feet of clay and a massively large footprint to boot?”
The narrator also notes that the face is actually of the Greek God Hermes.
from wiki:
In some myths Hermes is a trickster, and outwits other gods for his own satisfaction or the sake of humankind.

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK STREET ART: MY MONTH WITH BANKSY ~ VILLAGE VOICE COVER
I just happened to have walked past two Village Voices on the street on Monday and picked them up. It’s two of the same cover. Here’s the story from highsnobiety.com:
The Village Voice ‘Banksy’ Issue – Banksy x Os Gemeos Cover Art
Local New York news magazine The Village Voice of course had to pick up on the current Banksy street exhibition “Better Out Than In.” Rather than simply reporting about the ongoing art exhibit and letting people know about the best tours to see all artworks, the magazine has produced a special ‘Banksy’ issue with a great cover and an in-depth interview with Banksy. The cover art was done by Banksy and Brazilian artists Os Gemeos. There are two covers and the two artworks seen on the covers will actually be rolled out later this month as part of the exhibition. Of course we do not know when yet. The magazine came out this week and as you can imagine is highly sought-after already on eBay, going for $20 USD and more.
