From LA Times: “An anonymous band of artists painted a giant pair of scissors and a dotted line on the face of 200-foot Matilija Dam near Ojai. For years, an alliance of environmentalists, fishermen, surfers and officials from every level of government has called for demolishing the obsolete structure, which was built in 1947. (Mel Melcon, Los Angeles Times / September 19, 2011)”
In the midst of changing attitudes toward ownership and consumption, the draw/photograph-everything-I-own/buy thing has been a popular project among artists recently. Kate Bingaman Burt‘s book chronicling everything she buys, Obsessive Consumption, is probably the best known. Berlin based Lisa von Billerbeck has her own take, the most beautifully done and perfectly understated collection of objects yet. It’s captioned simply, “Started to draw everything i own to figure out what i need and what i dont need.”
Hats off gentlemen… No matter how hard you try, The Invisible Children cannot be ignored. You have to commend them on the level of organization and creativity that makes up this activist group, not to mention, their knack for creating positive tangible change.
