Artists Collective Declares War on Outdoor Advertising

Targeting payphone kiosks across New York.

This could get interesting. For Week #1, the group Art in Ad Places (AiAP) put up an Adam Wallacavage poster at a payphone kiosk in Williamsburg. For Week #2, the target was another phone kiosk in The Bowery, papered over this time with Kristen Liu-Wong art.

The group plans to continue the weekly campaign through the end of the year. Per their manifesto, AiAP equates the guerrilla effort with public service:

Outdoor advertising is visual pollution.
Outdoor advertising can be psychologically damaging.
