Banksy, Now in 3D

Rumors have been circulating that Banksy, the stealth graffiti artist from London, is in New York for weeks, and now comes the proof: Behold the self-dipping chicken nugget. That creature is one of many in The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill, Banksy’s new installation in Greenwich Village. Others include swimming fish sticks, robotic monkeys, and squirming hot dogs. “I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming,” Banksy said in a statement, “but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing.” Consider it another nail in understatement’s coffin.
