Who's your Dada?

Banksy at work

In his sci fi novel Good News from Outer Space, John Kessel has dadaist punks breaking into cars to install new sound systems. In a similar kind of prank, British graffiti artist Banksy smuggled his own art into the New York Museum of Modern Art, where it hung for three days before before anybody noticed. He also smuggled art into other museums as a coordinated detournement of art institutions. Banksy's run is documented at the Wooster Collective.
