NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK STREET ART: MY MONTH WITH BANKSY ~ “TWIN TOWERS FLOWER EXPLOSION”

Published on by jacquelinemhadel1 Comment

Depicted below in my customary varied films perspective (Hipstamatic on iPAD) is the newest piece from Banksy, located on Staple Street in Tribeca. Here is a stencil of the Twin Towers with what appears to be a Dahlia sticking out of it. The dahlia seems to represent the first explosion on 09/11/01, plus flowers generally symbolize hope. From a website on flowers and meanings, it says this about the dahlia: 

Dahlia’s are spicy flowers, and their meanings range from a sign of warning, to change, to travel, to even a portent of betrayal. The varied symbolic meanings of the dahlia make this flower a wild card.

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”

Published on by jacquelinemhadelLeave a comment

“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.
