Are you an artistic genius? Yeah, me too. The problem for us genius-tyoes is that the gallery owners can’t be trusted to recognize us. Enter Bansky (a pseudonym he adopted to keep him and law enforcement well apart) with the ideal solution…
Don’t ask permission. Just sneak in to major world art museums and hang up your art among their’s. It turns out that security guards aren’t really looking to prevent additions to the collections, only removals. Bansky has now exhibited at the Tate in London, the Louvre in Paris, and MOMA in New York, among others.

Wooster Collective, a site dedicated to street art, has info on his latest excapage, infiltrating his art into 4 NY museums on the same day.

Jeez, I wish I’d thought of this.
