Banksy's pet shop

Famed underground street artist Banksy has gone commercial with his first-ever show in New York, called the Village Pet Shop and Charcoal Grill.  The project is on from now til Halloween, and it kinda looks like you've gotta see it to believe it.  

In his own words:

“New Yorkers don’t care about art, they care about pets. So I’m exhibiting them instead. I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing. I took all the money I made exploiting an animal in my last show and used it to fund a new show about the exploitation of animals. If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art."
