Drunk Right-Wing Robots Debate the UK Election

[ 02:17 ]

Two right-wing robot drunks debate the issues of the day in this piece by acclaimed scrap artist Giles Walker, whose animatronic robots have pole-danced onstage with Lily Allen and graced last year's One Foot in the Grove exhibition by MuTate Britain. This current piece can now be seen at East London's Black Rat Press, as part of their new show 'Now's the Time', which opened on April 23 2010.
(Warning: STRONG LANGUAGE).

Jihad Milkshake
Anjem Choudary is the unnervingly calm voice of the extreme Islamic sect Al-Muhajiroun. VBS met up with him in an East London park in the UK, where Choudary shared his views on promoting al-Qaeda’s just-right-of-center ideology over milkshakes. Most of the major news outlets have branded Choudary as a “hate preacher” who wants to kill all non-Muslims. He didn’t help matters much when he recently called for the assassination of the Pope. But Choudary, a British citizen, claimed between sips that he’s mostly interested in sharing the religion of peace with the West by bringing Sharia Law to the United Kingdom—and by turning Buckingham Palace into a beautiful mosque.

Banksy's Animatronic Pet Store
Some of Banksy's strangest work: hot dogs, salamis and other reconstituted meat products fill the aquariums at Banksy's pop-up show in Leake Street, London, to accompany the UK release of Exit Through the Gift Shop. The exhibition is now closed, and it is not known when we may next get a peep at the pets.

Faile BAST Deluxx FLUXX Arcade 2010
Faile and BAST have put together the most exciting show to grace the galleries of London town this year. Arcade games, black lighting and baby football - what more could you ask for from an art exhibition?

Faile are a Brooklyn-based collaborative duo and pioneers of the contemporary street art movement. Despite working together for over ten years, the camera-shy duo have rarely appeared on film before. Long-time collaborator BAST is a fellow Brooklyn native, and an elusive character who has rarely been seen in public and whose very existence has been debated. The show is at Lazarides, Greek Street, until March 19 2010.
