Banksy Keeps On Delivering
As part of his on-going "Better Out Than In" public exhibition, this weekend Banksy converted a delivery truck into a mobile garden with all the works. It's like a grown-up's version of a school diorama with an assortment of plants, a rainbow, waterfall, and some butterflies. The truck was set to park at a different location every evening. Head over to BANKSYNY.com as his 1-800 toll free # gives us more insite on his exhibition. On Sunday (Oct 6th) no painting or diorama was released but instead a shocking video of a Rebel Rocket Attack see the shocking video below. Yesterday (Oct 7th) Banksy released an other piece in Brooklyn, a bandaged up helium balloon with more audio to accompany it. See all the pieces below and stay tuned as we will have more updates as more pieces are revealed.

Outside In Exhibit: The Mexican-American Street Art Movement In Chicago
Curated by Chicago Graffiti Artist and Professor Kane One Outside In highlights some of the finest graffers and street artists Chicago has seen. "This exhibition surveys the aesthetics created (from the 1980s to the present) in Chicago’s public space through a contemporary Mexican-American experience. It investigates graffiti and street art as a social practice, focusing on agency, mobilization and identity formation.” I can bet anyone that has walked the streets of Chicago has seen at least one piece of work from one of these artists. If you are person who appreciates Chicago street art or art for that matter this is definitely an exhibit that you must check out. The exhibit kicks off tonight and since its been curated by Kane One I have a feeling you won't be disappointed. So head on over to Pilsen to see some great art and learn a little something. Check out the details and artists of the exhibit below and for more information be sure to visit the National Museum of Mexican Art here.
