Weekend Diversion: Advertising vs. Art (Synopsis) [Starts With A Bang]


“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery — air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, ‘This is what it is to be happy.’” –Sylvia Plath

The modern world can often make you feel like you’ll never find anything good “playing by its rules” in it. This feeling is evoked, tremendously, in the songs of Bonnie “Prince” Billy, and in particular in this one,

The Southside of the World.

But artist Brian Kane is doing something to bring us back to nature, even in an urban setting.

Through a form of art known as “unvertising,” where an advertising space is used for a positive campaign that has no message at all, Brian is taking commuters in Massachusetts back to nature in a simple, expressive and interesting way.
