Urban Art: The Aquarium Phone Booth

How cool is this? Artists Benoit Deseille and Benedetto Bufalino transformed a mundane, unused telephone booth into a fantastic aquarium. The artists stated:

With the advent of the mobile telephone, telephone booths lie unused. We rediscover this glass cage transformed into an aquarium, full of exotically coloured fish; an invitation to escape and travel.

Smart Art By Banksy

The incredible Banksy has done it again. He came to prominence in his home city of Bristol for spray-can murals that commented in a playful fashion on matters such as law and order, consumerism, and war. The British street artist, whose subversive graffiti art has been bought by the likes of Angelina Jolie and Dennis Hopper, has just opened a new installation entitled The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill. It concentrates on the contradictory ways in which people see and use animals – for instance as food, pets, exotic beasts, and clothing.

In this work, entitled Chicken Nuggets, two bite-sized ready-to-eat pieces peck at a single-serving carton of tomato ketchup, watched over by their mother hen.

A second installation in the series shows what appears to be a leopard resting on a branch in a zoo enclosure, which turns out on closer inspection to be a fur coat. Another sees two fishfingers swimming gently around in a goldfish bowl.

Madcon: Straight Outta Norway

When it comes to music, it’s like I’ve been stuck in a dark closet playing with myself my toys. Once in a while, I find a track that distracts me from the carnal pleasures and gets me hip-hopping. And that track is Beggin’ from Norwegian hip-hop duo Tshawe Baqwa and Yosef Wolde-Mariam. Hear it once, you won’t be able to shake it ;)

Beggin’ by Madcon

Beggin’ original by Frankie Vallie/The Four Seasons
