In the Cultural Center of the Borda Psychiatric hospital (I hope they'll let me out) there's the first Arte Bruto exhibition.
Whether or not Banksy comes, there will be many artworks displayed and some of them could be very interesting (there was an Hospital Borda exhibit in the CC Borges 18 months ago : one artist was truly amazing).

If Banksy comes, I'll offer him to paint my car

The barrio is not the best ever though.

This area is a great graffiti spot and has a lot of potential to attract more public artists. I'm not keeping my hopes up for Banksy, but if he does come and leave his mark it will probably make my whole year.

The hospital itself is in Barracas, just south of Constitucion station and west of the railroad tracks. I've walked by the place a few times, down Calle Brandsen, and...well, it is sort of eerily quiet, giving off a faint foreboding of post-industrial abandonment. It should be safe during the day though. Anyone who is game for Calle Lanin (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calle_Lanín) should be able to handle this.

The 59 and 100 buses will get you there easily.

Probably 20 Facebook friends (or more) have RSVP'd to the event's listing:

Obviously he's not going to be there tomorrow, but what I'm expecting to see is a collection of graffiti that includes a lot of Banksy ripoffs as well as other styles that will serve as an attraction for people to come and visit/learn about the neighborhood of Barracas.

12:00pm-5:00pm*

*The fact that the time wasn't listed as 12.00-17.00, but uses "pm" is an indicator of the crowd that they're looking to attract.

FROM FACEBOOK:
Confirmación Oficial:
Luego de intervenir en Rio de Janeiro el Cristo Redentor, con la cara de Bin Laden, BANKSY, se presenta en el C.C.Borda, en Buenos Aires para la muestra "El Templo de Sharlin", 1º Festival de Art Brut de Argentina!**

**The fact that they "Confirmación Oficial" is in Spanish shows the kind of crowd that they're trying to attract.
