Not only the world’s most famous graffiti stencil artist, England’s own beloved Banksy is also one heck of a studio artist. Don’t believe us (or any of the hype surrounding Banksy)? See for yourself at Andipa Gallery, where – starting this Friday – many of Banksy’s works is to be on view.

... the bulk of exhibition is comprised of studio pieces which are very much available for purchase, if you've got the funds. For instance, an exceptional acrylic on canvas painting titled Sharks has a price tag of around £40,000 (yep, that's roughly $80,000).

Tate Modern, How Deep is Salcedo's Shibboleth?

It's amazing how even the (seemingly) simplest of things can elicit a sense of wonder. Such is the case with Doris Salcedo's Shibboleth (ie the big crack in the floor at Tate Modern). As can be viewed in this post's accompanying video, folks can't get enough of this "subterranean chasm that stretches the length" of Tate Modern's Turbine Hall.



Visit Tate Modern's website for more about Salcedo's Shibboleth.

The Tube on YouTube: Why?

Here's a link to a post from Going Underground - "the London Underground blog" - about Tube Lines' new YouTube channel. I've also included the actual YouTube clip, which seems pretty inocuous but uh, shouldn't they focus more attention on just making sure the damn trains run on time? Maybe they had to make the video for investors or some government review board and thought "since we have it, why not share it with the public?" Whatever the case, here's all you never wanted to know about "future of travel on the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly Lines." Enjoy.
