Weston-Super-Mare is not one of the UK’s most inspiring places, and that’s possibly why famously mysterious artist Banksy chose it as the location for his dingy pop-up theme park, Dismaland. The event runs until the end of September and features artworks by 58 global artists (hand picked by Banksy, naturally), as well as some installations by Banksy himself (including a fairly disturbing sculpture of Cinderella after a pumpkin carriage crash). Dismaland is full of anarchy, sarcasm and misery, and is halfway between a theme park and an exhibition, providing a commentary on Banksy’s favourite themes of anti-consumerism, celebrity culture, and law enforcement. If you’re in the UK in the next few weeks and would like to see Banksy’s project for yourself, you can buy tickets online here.
