Banksy, a British street artist, has opened a show in New York depicting the skewed relationship humans have with pet stores, processed meat and brand consumption. Is it art? Or is this an example of creative retailing?

At first, ‘The Village Pet Shop and Charcoal Grill’ looks like an ordinary pet shop, until you get inside. The experience is one for the senses – visitors walk among a monkey watching TV, mechanical chicken nuggets and a number of other unusual sights. Banksy is critiquing over-consumption.

The interesting aspect of this show (Apart from the obvious show itself) is that, eventually the displays will go on sale like any other art show. If we consider Banksy as a brand, it’s a brand re-inventing what it is to present and sell. Imagine if you could re-invent your brand to do the same?
