Banksy recently updated the “outdoor” section of his website to include several new pieces in the UK. Looks like we are eating our words about the falling shopping cart piece.

More looks after the jump.

Is it possible that Banksy has been busy in London? We have our doubts. In addition to the fact that the piece has not officially been claimed by Banksy, the softer shading below woman’s body would certainly be a different direction than his his usual style. We know that Blek le Rat has been busy in the streets again these days. Possibly the work of Blek? Another look after the jump.

For the first time in Australia the phenomenal and notorious D*Face will premiere a solo exhibition at Metro Gallery. Often cited as a challenger to Banksy’s crown as the King of Street Art, and as one of the most exciting and prolific contemporary urban artists of his generation, this exhibition will be the only chance to see D*Face in Australia this year.
D*Face will be showing at Metro Gallery from 2nd November – 12 November, 2011.

For those with 45 minutes to spare, who are even remotely interested in the Robbo/Banksy feud, this video is worth viewing. Watch the flick after the jump.

Before there was Banksy hype, there was a piece of the artist’s work on a wall many people passed and probably didn’t think twice about. But after layers of wall in a Berlin art gallery were stripped away as part of an installation by Brad Downey,a Banksy work with five soldiers, winged angels and smiley faces was uncovered. Downey, a Berlin-based American artist, is showing an exhibition titled “What Lies Beneath,” and focuses on layers of paint.  Downey, who also took part in the 2003 exhibit with the anonymous street artist, remembered Banksy’s work and wanted to uncover it for his 2011 project.

Head of the Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien gallery, Stephane Bauer, is unsure of what will happen to Banksy’s work once Downey’s exhibit ends on October 23rd. It could go back to hiding behind newer works, unless someone buys it for a presumably large amount of money.

Bristol, home to Nick Walker and Banksy, drew an impressive selection of artist, recently for the “See no Evil Project.” In addition to hometown hero Nick Walker, the likes of Hush, and El Mac (above) also went big on Nelson Street. More looks after the jump.

A new image showed up on Banksy’s outdoor portion of his site. One might have to be a Brit to understand the humor in this one. Either way, we like it.

On the heels of her private installation at Primary Wave, Olek opened a solo show at the Jonathan Levine Gallery last Thursday entitled “The Bad Artists Imitate, The Great Artists Steal.” The exhibition includes Olek’s interpretation of various famous pieces ranging from the work of Picasso to that of Banksy. Olek also mixed up the color scheme a bit this time around. Instead of exclusively using the brilliant pinks and purples, she created several pieces in a monochromatic camo.  More looks after the jump.

Banksy is taking on the role of TV producer with “The Antics Roadshow,” an hour-long special to air on UK’s channel 4 on August 13.  The show will chart “the history of behaving badly in public, from anarchists and activists to attention seeking eccentrics” and has been dubbed an “incomplete guide to total anarchy.”

“Explaining his reasoning behind the show, Banksy said: ‘Basically I just thought it was a good name for a TV programme and I’ve been working back from there’.

Narrated by Kathy Burke and produced by Jamie D’cruz, The Antics Roadshow examines the stories behind some of the most audacious stunts of recent times and what motivates the perpetrators, from mindless boredom to heartfelt political beliefs.

It includes a world exclusive first interview with the man responsible for putting the turf Mohican on Winston Churchill’s head.”
