In our never ending quest to come to terms with sophisticated marketing schemes that dazzle the senses and blur the lines between expression and manipulation, we bring to you an example of such. Well respected graf-artist Cope2 was hired by Time, Inc. to “bomb” a billboard in SOHO, probably one of the most sought after and expensive ad-placement zones in the city, in order to draw attention to their magazine, which from what I understand has a dwindling market share. Ad or art? Subversive or sellout? I’m thinking both but what about you? (By the way, that graf movie we posted about last week was well worth the doe and the trek to the city). via adrants, bigger pic, cope2
