The borough’s most sensational anti-advertising activist has sold out!
Poster Boy — who is best known for using glue and an X-Acto knife to subvert subway advertisements into comical juxtapositions — will hack apart ads at the 3rd Ward art space in Bushwick on April 24.
But this time he’ll have the consent of the advertisers.
Unlike the vandal’s famous attacks at large corporations like McDonalds (pictured), Poster Boy will be going after ads for smaller businesses that have agreed to go under the knife, including Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales, Harper Perennial, and the Brooklyn Salsa Company.
“These brands are not the huge conglomerates who are really afraid of him and what he represents — these are people who understand that Poster Boy is making their ads more interesting,” said Royal Young, executive editor of the Bushwick quarterly Pomp and Circumstance, which is putting on the event.
Poster Boy at 3rd Ward [195 Morgan Ave. between Stagg and Meadow streets in Bushwick, (718) 715-4961], April 24, 7 pm to midnight. Free.
