Had Public Ad Campaign’s New York Street Advertising Takeover just finished with the whitewashing of 120 illegally NPA operated advertising locations, it certainly still would have been a success. But no, Jordan Seiler had to turn things up a notch. Once the buffers were finished painting over the ad blight, over 50 artists (of which only 1 was arrested) moved in to transform the newly created public canvasses into works of art. While my colleague was buffing the billboards, I was indiscriminately shooting the action, including the best part: the artists, who used posters, paint, and even performance art in their creative reclamations. Jump for the massive billboard-beautifying gallery.

LOVE IT!!! Time to take the city back!!
can someone please explain whats up with the lady in blackface????
New York fell off.
The "lady in blackface" was supposed to be a statue. In fact her entire body was painted black to look like some sort of stone. She spent hours in front of the billboard posing in specific positions for protracted periods of time. The idea was to break the art out of the frame and into the world of the living, to connect with and interact with the public instead of simply forcing the imagery upon them. I thought it was cool, but I see how somebody could get a weird impression from that image…
Hi everyone, just moved to nyc from nashville and i'm a little bit overwhelmed by the size and how busy this new town is. I was wondering if there are any guys that are looking to show a new woman around in town. Im not really looking for a relationship or anything, kinda just a buddy to go out and have fun with.
Send me an email if your interested: janningsjojolall@gmail.com
