ART MEMES.

1. After updating his website last week, and confirming his hand in a few suspected pieces in Hastings and Glastonbusy, Banksy is back, with a new installation in the seaside town of Brighton. The piece, entitled Pier Pressure, features a tuna net-draped dolphin attempting to jump over a leaking barrel of BP-branded oil. Locals seem to be feeling it.


2. Portland can now add ‘Badass Mario Kart Bike Lanes’ next to ‘Nike’ on the list of Kewl Things Our Town Has To Offer. Pretty sure Art Alexakis was born there, too.


3. Last July, Yoko Ono gave a lil’ performance at MoMA, aptly (?) titled, Voice Piece For Soprano. As much as I would love to leave snarky comments about how it sounds like she’s having sex with a refrigerator, the truth is that I actually think this is pretty cool. Ono encouraged museum visitors to join in on the action, and the results were amplified throughout the building.


4. The pièce de résistance, y’all.
