I just caught a truly inspiring outdoor project going on in Los Angeles right now titled How Many Billboards? Art In Stead.
The basic idea of the project was to use small art to break up the dreary canvas of Los Angeles urban landscape. In this case, the monotony being the thousands of billboards that Los Angeles houses. The MAK Center for Art and Architecture set up the outdoor exhibition and commissioned 21 artists to explore Billboards as a canvas for their work.
“The streets of Los Angeles become the walls of the exhibition, and the city itself becomes a large museum,”
Kerry Tribe, Kenneth Anger, Michael Asher, Kori Newkirk, Jennifer Bornstein, Yvonne Rainer and James Welling are some of the artists chosen to be apart of this special exhibition
Check out howmanybillboards.org for a detailed map of the pieces scattered throughout Los Angeles. And keep your eyes peeled! We need more of these! (via T Magazine)
