Since his residency in New York, people have speculated where Banksy would pop up next. Los Angeles seemed like the logical next stop, but it has been months and there is still no sign of him. The "Voice of Russia" radio station has claimed that the elusive street artist has his eye on the Mother Country and will soon stage the "largest exhibition of his legendary graffiti" at Moscow's Manezh Exhibition Centre. Allegedly, the exhibition will feature "more than 130 paintings, sculptures, graffiti, collages and videos," but they don't give a date and no one has been able to confirm their claim.

The guys at ANIMAL are very skeptical, and we have to take their side on this one. Let's see if Banksy and Russia make us eat those words...
