NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK STREET ART: MY MONTH WITH BANKSY ~ “A DOG PEEING ON A HYDRANT”
…At the very least, the information hotline is live (1-800-656-4271, #2). For someone who has totally convulsed New York City with what’s probably the biggest scavenger hunt in history, Banksy somehow managed to stay self-deprecating about his work.
The narrator on the hotline opens his description of the latest piece with: “Are you’re looking at one of the great artworks of the 21st century? If so, you’re in the wrong place. You should be looking at a stencil of a dog peeing on a hydrant.” For more:http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2013/10/banksys_third_a.php

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.
