UK: Taking on ‘Brandalism’

Categories: United Kingdom, Arts & Culture, Citizen Media, Environment, Humor, Ideas, Photography

The collectively maintained website Brandalism presents an ever-growing collection [1] of street art. The project is inspired “from the Dadaists, Situationists and Street Art movements” and its goal is to “see the largest reclamation of outdoor advertising space in UK history as artists challenge the authority and legitimacy of the advertising industry. We are tired of being shouted at by adverts on every street corner so we decided to get together with some friends from around the world and start to take them back, one billboard at a time”. You can find more about it as well as various resources and a list of the individual artists participating here [2].
