Famed street artist Banksy has a new installation in England called "Dismaland," and there's a Twin Cities connection.

Dismaland Bemusement Park is a 2.5-acre mock theme park. It features the work of more than 50 artists from around the world.

Minneapolis artist Brock Davis is one of them.

How did that come about? What did he contribute? What's the purpose of the exhibit? Davis spoke with MPR News host Tom Weber.
