I don’t normally mention many of my projects outside of the Anti-Advertising Agency, but this one feels relevant.
I started the AAA four years ago after making my own art related to advertising and public space for the five years prior. So, after 9 years of thinking about these issues and making projects about them, I was offered a solo show. I realized I had the opportunity to make new pieces that didn’t need to be read at 25 miles an hour like much of what I’ve done in the street. And unlike what I usually put out online, I could make work that takes more than 5 seconds to be read. This show presented me a lot of freedom to play with how advertising works, why I respect and admire it, and how at the same time I despise it.
I will have photos up at visitsteve.com next week. If you can make it to the opening, please say hello.
