Banksy Teams Up with OSGEMEOS for "Better Out Than In"
Taking things outside the gallery.
“Are you the sort of person who enjoys going to art galleries, but wished they had more gravel in them? Then this temporary exhibition space is for you. Housing just two paintings but also featuring a bench, some carpet and complimentary refreshments.” With that, Banksy presents his latest work for the ongoing “Better Out Than In” street residency: a tiny exhibition on West 24th Street that houses the Banksy and OSGEMEOS artworks most recently seen on the cover of the Village Voice. Said the artist of the display, “People ask why I want to have an exhibition in the streets, but have you been to an art gallery recently? They’re full.” The temporary setup will be available to view from 11 a.m. to midnight daily through Sunday, October 20.
