British street artist Banksy has landed in NYC, this past Wednesday over at 89 Seventh Avenue South he has unveiled his first official exhibition in NYC as “a mock pet supply shop, filled with animatronic creatures like a rhesus monkey and would-be creatures like fish sticks swimming in a tank.” The pet store named “The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill” will be open to the public daily through Halloween, October 31st- I’ll definitely be visiting soon. If I haven’t read about the news, I would of probably be tricked into the pet shop thinking I was going to pick up stuff for my babies as the sign in front of the store reads “Open for Pet Supplies/Rare Breeds/Mechanically retrieved meat” haha. Entrance is free so make sure you swing by to check out the installation, just by looking at the pictures you know it’ll be interesting!
