Nick Walker Attempts to One-Up Banksy Tonight in London

0415projecting.jpg

This is kind of a weird little story. In an attempt to "out-Banksy' Banksy himself, artist Nick Walker is going to hit the town this evening and cause some trouble. Which he announced by press release. Through his gallery. According to Bloomberg, tonight in London, Banksy's pal Walker will be projecting his street art onto famous British landmarks (using a very large and powerful projector we're willing to wager), which will hopefully lend some press to his new exhibit. Here's a bit:

He will be painting the town red -- and yellow, purple, pink and green. Instead of using cans to paint stencils on undistinguished buildings, Walker is thinking bigger than Banksy by using a giant laser beam to target some of the British capital's landmarks.

His light show tomorrow will project colored "paint," said Mike Snelle, director of the Black Rat Gallery in Shoreditch, which is staging Walker's next show, opening April 17. The locations of the displays are being kept secret.

We think it's a fun idea and all, but it's not really all that crazy, is it? Seems like you could almost even get a permit for something like that. Just seems like the worst that could happen would be some guard coming out and saying, "Hey, you mind turning off that light? It's pretty bright." But we could be completely 100% wrong and we'd like to see some photos, if you happen to be out and about, wandering around some famous British landmarks.
