banksy’s village pet store and charcoal grille, 2008.
wish i had gotten a chance to see this when it was up! it’s interesting how banksy makes such an effective statement about animal rights, but has used animals in some of his only ‘gallery’ shows. it seems kind of unnecessary to put an ACTUAL elephant in the room (http://cdn.newsone.com/files/2008/11/la_tai4-1.jpg)… in putting an elephant in the room, he kind of puts another elephant in the room… thus creating a room full of real and metaphorical elephants
