For our art residency week I decided to post about an alternative to traditional artist residencies like the Galveston Art Residency, like Banksy's 2013 "art residency" in New York, which he titled Better Out Than In.
The street artist traveled around the city and posted a mural, video installation, or 'open air' installation almost each day. This residency is a great example of how social media and new art mediums can change traditional methods of artistic practice and exhibition of works. The artist posted his series of murals, videos, installation, and performance art on social media-- creating an art exhibit that could be seen and followed around the world. Below I've included some of my favorite works from his residency, here is a map of the whole series that I found online.
