I swung by Banky’s latest art installation here in Manhattan. It’s a store in the West Village named The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill that is an animatronic menagerie. It’s hard to describe so take a look for yourself:
“I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming,” Banksy explains in an official press release. “But it ended up as chicken nuggets singing.”
This gentleman who claimed to be the store owner was fielding questions from a TV reporter and when asked about the hot dogs, said it was very sad, that they were rescue dogs. Ba da bing!
