Other street art projects - Dismaland by Banksy
Street art lovers should also check out Banksy’s new project 'Dismaland', described by the man himself as ‘a festival of art, amusements and entry level anarchism’ in Weston-super-mare. It features 19 ‘areas’ each put together by a different artist. My favourites are 'Mini Gulf', an oil caliphate themed crazy golf course made from the hockey pitch at Cheltenham Ladies college and 'Water Cannon Creek', an armour plated riot control vehicle built to serve on the streets of Northern Ireland, equipped with sniper posts, grenade launchers and now a children’s slide.
On until 27th September (featuring Friday night events finishing with Massive attack on Friday 25th September), it's certain to be fab. I’m doing all I can to get tickets for this one, got any contacts anyone?!
