"A group of Guerilla Knitters stormed the U1 in Berlin disguised with knitted beards and armed with knitted cozies, to beautify and soften the harsh interior of the everyday world of commuters. After 3 months of preparation with Stitch N Bitch group, it took us just an hour to install, and the carriage stayed in circulation until around 15:00, when the BVG security unfortunately cut it all to pieces. Despite making those few employees miserable by giving them extra work, I think we cheered up a Diy, Berlin, Photo Art, Street Gallery, Wooster

"Paul "Moose" Curtis creates his art by erasing dirt from public surfaces. British authorities aren’t sure what to make of the artist who is creating graffiti by cleaning the grime of urban life. The Leeds City Council has been considering what to do with Moose. "I’m waiting for the kind of Monty Python court case where exhibit A is a pot of cleaning fluid and exhibit B is a pair of my old socks," he jokes."

"THE PHOTOCOPIER AS A WEAPON OF SUBVERSION -- Increase Self Activity.
The billboard artist's goal is to throw a well aimed spanner into the media's gears -- unmask the real corporate activity behind the glamorous image, and to assault the billboard itself, to question its given function of marking out urban geographies (areas defined for consumption, the territory devoted to the car, the space set aside for leisure that always seems to lack meaningful participation)."

"Here’s the billboard we targeted. The brooding ego and well-shaven torso of the popular musician of the month. -- First, we covered over the text of the ad with paint -- There’s a type of spraypaint that turns the painted surface into a chalkboard, just like the chalkboards in a classroom. -- Not everyone is interested in participating, but a lot of people are eager to add their own interpretation of what the billboard model might be thinking."

BRAND NAME PROTEST: Its a de-subliminalization of advertisements. Where the unknown, perhaps hidden message in the advertising composition becomes revealed in a manner which the owner of the work did not intend. The idea of ”culture Jamming” behind a group like the Billboard Liberation Front is straightforward. By making minor adjustments to billboards, the jammer creates ironic and often pointed social critique by what  is termed a ”detour”, an appropriation of the work into a separate street campaign. In the course of minimal alterations, groups like the BLF can turn upside down the glistening and apparently well controlled facade of an entire company image. Wardrobes, Spoofs, Entertainment Sites

I go back and photograph the results." -- "They are left blank, inviting passersby to fill them in. -- This project instantly transforms the intrusive and dull corporate monologues into a public dialogue.

Princess Hijab's billboard liberation
"Princess Hijab embodies all that we love about billboard liberation. The images are shocking, disturbing, and powerful. A simple black swath completely changes the meaning of the advertisement. The billboards, in the Paris subway system, are carefully chosen-yet the execution, with the classic graffiti artist drips-have the touch of the human hand. With the proliferation of public advertising, much of it on our public transportation, the work of Princess Hijab feels like small but poignant wins against an enormous system."
