Banksy Art Show In Abandoned Eurostar Tunnel
« on: May 06, 2008, 12:16:19 AM »

Bristol graffiti artist Banksy has found a new way to present his work - an abandoned Eurostar tunnel (link below.)
http://thisisbristol.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=144913&command=displayContent&sourceNode=231190&home=yes&more_nodeId1=144922&contentPK=20546419

The reclusive painter converted a half-mile stretch of the tunnel in Leake Street, Waterloo, into a gallery for his and 29 other artists' works.

Among the images on display at the Cans Festival are recreations of Madonna kissing Britney Spears and newly-elected London Mayor Boris Johnson.

The exhibition also has a number of installations, including a burned-out car, a tree with CCTV cameras and a piano with green paint thrown over it.

Artists involved in the three-day street art show came from all over the world, including Australia, Canada and Brazil.

Members of the public were encouraged to get involved by turning up with a spray can and adding their own stencils.
