Dialogue or Fight

What I love about Banksy is how his art always shows the push-pull. There are no winners and no losers; ideas are in conversation. War and innocence. Privacy and surveillance. Beauty and anger.

Food and pets.

This is probably one of the coolest art installations ever. On a personal level, I'm trying not to eat meat more than once or twice a week. It's about being green, reducing carbon emissions, resisting a heart attack, eating more vegetables, grains and beans, urban homesteading, knowing what's in my food, saving money, and a bunch of other ideas that have been floating around in my brain.

Now it's also about not eating pets.

Heh.

  1. I've thought about being vegan sometimes... I'm waiting for laboratory-grown meat, just the meat :)

  2. Oh wow! Thanks so much for posting this link. I've always been really intrigued by Bansky's work- and I wish I could see this one in person!

    ps- I totally agree about Feith's quality in the GO international line. The cut is also really good on all the pieces- they don't sag or gap in weird places.
