From passionate art aficionados and casual exhibition-goers to those who don't know a thing about art, everyone knows the name Banksy. Since the 90s, the anonymous street artist and prankster has created thought-provoking artworks around the world. Most of us don't have the privilege of travel-hopping to see his works, but no matter, as they are coming to us in one curated space! A roving Banksy exhibition, The Art of Banksy: Without Limits, will be landing in Singapore this December.

Held in a venue spanning 1,200 sqm, the exhibition brings outdoor street art to the comfortable indoors for our viewing. It will showcase over 170 of the artist's works including certified originals. There will also be experiential areas along with prints, photos, lithographs, sculptures, murals and video mapping installations.

Greeting visitors at the entrance is a Walled Off Hotel style lobby installation created specifically for the Singapore edition. It draws inspiration from Banksy's 2017 boutique hotel exhibition, self-proclaimed to have "the worst view of any hotel in the world".

Inside, visitors can have a close look at some of Banksy's most iconic artworks like Girl with Balloon and Rage, the Flower Thrower.

Other highlights include Dismaland installations from Banksy's 2015 pop-up Bemusement Park and the sculpture Phone Booth. A section is dedicated to Banksy’s activism related to immigrants and a completely immersive "infinity room" addressing politics.

In the spirit of Banksy's activism, visitors are invited to spray paint their own T-shirt with a $2 donation to the M.V. Louise Michel organisation. This team of activists and volunteers aim to actively resist the discriminatory power structures of nationalism, racism, patriarchy and capitalism.
