Watch: Banksy Installs Anti-BP Dolphin Ride On Brighton Pier [VIDEO]
19 Aug 2013 by Jasmine Stone in Art, Environment, Politics, Video
Banksy is more of a street artist than a graffiti artist. “Graffiti artist” is too narrow a description for him, and this is the perfect example why. The elusive street artist has installed an anti-BP dolphin ride at Brighton Pier. The ride is similar to those you rode as a kid outside the Pick ‘n’ Pay – you know, the space-ship or car that used to move about as your mom patiently waited.
Banksy’s version is a little different, it delivers a message. The ride is not a space-ship or a car, it’s a dolphin struggling to swim through fishing nets and BP oil, installed as a reminder to those who have forgotten about BP’s role in poisoning the Gulf Coast of the USA.
Check out the ride in action – it looks pretty fun. [Source : Boing Boing, YouTube]
