In the month of October, famous graffiti artist Banksy is staging an entire art show—titled “Better Out Than In”—on the streets of New York City.
Launching a new website for the project, the elusive artist will be turning the city into a museum with what is described as “an artists residency on the streets of New York”.
Banksy has already unveiled the first piece from the art show in Chinatown—it features two boys, dressed in the fashion of an earlier era, who are interacting with a sign that reads “Graffiti Is A Crime”.
The most interesting part of this art show is that a toll-free number will be painted next to each piece—the viewer can call this number to listen to a tongue-in-cheek audio guide which makes fun of this staple feature of conventional museums.
If you are not in New York City right now, you can still take a listen to the sarcastic commentary that accompanies the show’s inaugural artwork over here.
