Art exhibition Note(s):
"The original collage version of the billboard project is one of a series of works I completed in my final year at ACAD. With each piece, I take an original art ad from a magazine and use tape to edit out the gallery and artists names, leaving only the dates and locations of the exhibitions. On the botton right corner you'll find a dot sticker suggesting that the work has been sold, and thus a success. The names of the artists are of little importance to me, it's their status in a world I was studying for a position in. By removing the names, I give myself instant credibility and status in that world."
