Banksy marked the 13th day of his Better Out Than In residency in New York by setting up an unannounced stall in Central Park staffed by a disinterested old gent apparently selling $60 Banksy knockoffs that were actually original signed canvasses worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In the course of seven hours, just three people bought a total of seven canvasses with no idea they were real. One walked off with four pieces to decorate his new house, unwittingly landing the bargain of the decade..

The point having been made, the trolltastic stunt will not be repeated.

The Opus Office Tower – a 21 story office building with a void at its center (supply your own metaphor) due for completion in Dubai by 2016, designed by Zaha-Hadid architects, what sez:

The Opus comprises two structures, conceived as a single cube eroded by a free-form void, which appears to ‘hover’ above ground-level. A pixilated reflective façade renders the cube full by day; by night, it ‘dematerializes’ as light floods the void.

The Ground Will Shake – Miss Serene

Alex Quigley writes:

My mate Fred directed it, and hoping to ask him to be my best man if I can get a hold of him. Might even have a band for the wedding sewn up too!
‘Miss Serene‘ is the debut single from The Ground Will Shake and will be released in Tower Records, Dublin on November 1 at 6pm.
