banksy and elephants, los angeles

Sep 17, 2006 11:39

went to see the banksy exhibit in la
and there was a live elephant there that was painted.
we stayed less than 10 seconds after seeing that.
the vast majority of the people there were
pretty much worthless. i.e. hipster kids with
no politiks. no sense of rhyme or reason.
kids who went home afterwards, reading some of
banksy's propaganda about invisible people in the world
without clean water, as they ate their big macs and
talked about going to the mall to buy some new clothes.

no matter what i think of his work, you can never excuse
exploiting animals. no matter what point you're trying
to get across. it is one of the oldest tricks in the book.
and from someone so talented, i expected so much more.

animal welfare, art
