About

On Oct. 1, 2013, the elusive British street artist known as Banksy launched a self-proclaimed month-long residency in New York City, posting one unique exhibit a day in an unannounced location, sparking a 31-day scavenger hunt both online and on the streets. Capturing this month of madness, Banksy Does New York incorporates user-generated content, from all kinds of social media sites for an exhilarating, detailed account of the uproar created by the mysterious artist. With installations spanning all five boroughs of New York City, and including a mix of stencil graffiti, sculpture, video and performance art, Banksy critiqued all kinds of our society's institutions and touched upon subjects from fast-food wages, animal cruelty in the meat industry to civilian casualties in Iraq and the hypocrisy of the modern art world.
