    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.

“In 2005, Canadian artist Heather Benning  took a derelict farmhouse in Saskatchewan, Canada and made it into a cool life-size Dollhouse. It took her two years to fix it up and then she furnished it with decor from the 1960s. The exterior open wall of the Dollhouse is covered with plexiglass.” 
The results Benning achieved are amazing. Visit the original post to see more pictures, and then click on the link to her website to see even more...and other pieces of her work. A very talented artist, indeed.
