"The new work has been granted a certificate by Pest Control, Banksy's authentication body, and has been given a new title, Love is in the Bin." – An excerpt from a statement released by Sotheby's. - "When the hammer came down last week and the work was shredded, I was at first shocked, but gradually I began to realise that I would end up with my own piece of art history." – The buyer of the Banksy piece who has now, after a (very) short period of doubt, accepted the new title 'Love is in the Bin' (and the new price tag). - Did Banksy just simultaneously throw art and love in the bin?
Ever heard of a Makerspace? Well, Melbourne's about to get its first one in February next year, @fab9au .

Get on our mailing list to get it delivered into your inbox [link in bio]. . . Pictured is the world's first Makerspace, NextFab (@nextfab_phl), in the US.
