A Wall as a Canvas

Stunt artist Banksy has painted 9 holes into the Israeli containment wall on the Palestinian side. They portray cracks, peepholes into the other side, a kind of exposure of the perception of the dream of what happens on the other side. Quite a protest of perception: built through art.

Yeah. Banksy is one weird "artist." This is the first thing I've seen him do that makes coherent sense- it is protest and it is art.

Oh-- and I've never SEEN him do anything- just read about it. thank god for the internets.
