The streets of New York and our outdoor spaces all over the world are cluttered with intrusive and ugly ads, filling each and every empty wall. In 2009 a massive takeover of these billboards was organized and 126 billboards were whitewashed by dozens of volunteers. Over 80 artists transformes the advertising spaces into their personal piece of art. This picture shows Ji Lees contribution.
He has also done a ´Bubble Project´ which consisted of 500, 000 printed stickers that look like speech bubbles used in comic strips. He posted these blank speech bubbles on top of advertisments throughout New York city allowing anyone to write their comments and thoughts.
