Mysterious (and now wealthy) famed street artist* Banksy has opened his latest exhibition piece, this one a permanent one. It’s a hotel, named, aptly, the Walled Off Hotel, built in secrecy over the past 14 months abutted against the perimeter wall built by the Israelis to fence off Palestinians. He’s used the wall before for past art, and one only wonders how long before he does so again. In the interim, if you’re interested in seeing Bethlehem, you can now do so inside a true work of art.
