How Many Billboards?, LA


Also from unurth, "How Many Billboards?" is a project in Los Angeles initiated by the MAK Center for Art and Architecture. According to the MAK Center,

The philosophical proposition of the exhibition is simple: art should occupy a visible position in the cacophony of mediated images in the city, and it should do so without merely adding to the visual noise. How Many Billboards? Art In Stead proposes that art periodically displace advertisement in the urban environment.

fauxreel/dan bergeron re-up and interview


I just have to re-post fauxreel's work, and a link to an interview that he did with unurth that's absolutely fantastic. I was particularly interested in his comments on his own work's relationship with commercial interests and how that affects credibility (re: Vespa Squareheads)

You can check that interview here.
