Banksy goes back to his pissing dog theme for MOCA. This time he brings in a real taxidermied dog, and staged it with its leg lifted as if pissing up onto the wall. Banksy then placed a big frame around it with a ribbon dubbing it 'Best in Show'.
Banksy wants to make clear that no dogs were hurt in the making of this piece, and the dog that was used had sat unclaimed for seven years. The paper next to the exhibit says the dog was "absolutely not killed by Banksy for the purposes of this exhibition."
And if the game of graffiti and street art is, at its most basic, a pissing contest, well, Banksy wins 'Best In Show'.
