New York Post!

This one was a little bonus. It wasn’t really intended to be a part of this project, I just brought it down to get it up in New York in general. That’s why this piece doesn’t really own the billboard space like the other works- it was never designed for that space.

We got this up between beers and mexican food. While leaving the bar we were drinking at, we noticed a whitewashed billboard on the side of the bar. At this late stage of the game it was clear that no one was going to be coming to add anything to the billboard- and we knew these billboards wouldn’t last long in their inviting, lovely, ad-free state. As it turned out, it was even shorter than I expected- they didn’t even last the night! Apparently, the advertising company got their employees out of their weekends and organized them to work late into the night making sure every billboard was covered up with ads again. By mornings light, all the ads were back and all the art was gone.

In anycase, we saw this blank billboard, and decided to get this lil’ work up! It’s made with pre-pasted wallpaper, so all we had to do was dump some water on it’s backside, spread it around a bit until everything was nice and juicy, and put it up!

WHY NOT.
