some sort of Banksy retrospective
Banksy showed his support for the Occupy London movement by installing a new piece at St. Paul’s Cathedral. The sculpture consists of a modified Monopoly board with the hotel covered in graffiti, including a TOX tag and an unshaven Monopoly mascot begging for change with his top hat.
After spending some months in the US in the first half of 2011, Banksy returned to the UK for the summer—one piece in Liverpool, maybe two in Bristol, the rest in London.

The Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, MOCA, held a collective Street Art exhibition in April 2011. Banksy participated with versions of old work and some new stuff. The “Forgive us our trespassing” – the graffiti boy praying – was a collaboration between Banksy and a local art school.

The film “Exit through the gift shop” was nominated for the Oscars 2011, and it is clear that Banksy was in the area for the ceremony.
