Unsigned, Unnumbered printers proof // HMV Dog by Banksy is a 2004 screen-print that plays with the iconic image of a dog listening to a gramophone, originally used in advertisements for HMV (His Master’s Voice). In Banksy's version, the dog is humorously depicted holding a bazooka aimed at the gramophone, a subversive twist that critiques consumer culture and the commodification of art. The stark contrast of black and white adds to the simplicity and immediacy of the visual message, while the dark humor invites viewers to question authority and the role of media in shaping public perception.

What is site specific art?
Site-Specific Art is a form of artwork created to exist in a particular location, with the artist considering the site as an integral part of the creative process. Robert Irwin was a key figure in promoting this art form in California. Site-Specific Art emerged as a reaction against modernist objects, which were often portable, commodified, and confined to museum spaces. In contrast, Site-Specific Art is inherently tied to its location, challenging the traditional notions of art as a transportable and marketable commodity.
