BANKSY OPENS THE CAN FESTIVAL IN LONDON

If you live in London you have to go and see this. A giant new exhibition space created by famed graffiti artist Banksy opens today, May 3rd, 2008.

The disused tunnel beneath Waterloo station has been transformed by 40 artists from around the world. The three day event, tagged as The Cans festival, also invites the public to add their own stencil art. So cool !!!! "I'm hoping we can transform a dark forgotten filth pit into an oasis of beautiful art".

Unlike many of Banksy's previous stunts, the exhibition was approved by Eurostar, which manages the site under its old train platform at Waterloo Station. The event, which is free, will be held in the tunnel Saturday through Monday May 5th.

My favorites are the one above with the angel and the one below, just genius!
