Ad Mashup Targets Abramovic

This one appears the work of Poster Boy, or at least someone part of his movement. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time he has targeted a MoMa advertisement. Thanks to Halston for the tip!

Yet another prankster has been posting quirky stickers on ads in the subway. Roberta Thorn, whom I believe is the artist behind this work, has countless photos of stickers in the same style as this one on her Flickr. The majority of these seem to include bits of commentary on the art world, but some also have a more political flavor.

It seems we have covered her handiwork before, unknowingly. Her repertoire includes subway ad alterations, fun graffiti and a whole lot more. She definitely seems to be one to watch.

Shitter Island – Mark Ruffalo and Leonardo DiCrapio team up as a pair of U.S. Marshals who travel to a secluded island off the coast of Massachusetts to search for the perfect place to drop a deuce, uncovering a web of deception along the way as they battle the calls of nature and a prison riot in this Martin Scorsese-helmed poo picture.
