The MAK Center is sponsoring a project called "How Many Billboards?" and has commissioned 21 artists including Kenneth Anger, Kira Lynn Harris,John Knight, Susan Silton to create large images that will be scattered across the landscape of LA. Here's a quote from their website:
The philosophical proposition of the exhibition is simple: art should occupy a visible position in the cacophony of mediated images in the city, and it should do so without merely adding to the visual noise. How Many Billboards? Art In Stead proposes that art periodically displace advertisement in the urban environment. There's an artists' reception on Feb. 27 at the Schindler House from 1-6. Should be fun. Finally, billboards will be good for something.
