Der russische Street Artist Pavel Uhov deutet Objekte des öffentlichen Raumes spielerisch um – und das auf ziemlich geniale wie humorvolle Weise. Famos, Herr Pulov.

In America, the average CEO earns 185 times more than the average worker.

“Money talks, but not loud enough for the 99%.”

Um das zu ändern und für größtmögliche Aufklärung zu wirtschaftlichen Missverhältnissen in Amerika zu sorgen, werden bei dem Projekt  Occupy George Geldscheine mit Infografiken zum Thema bedruckt – und jeder kann und soll mitmachen.

“By circulating dollar bills stamped with fact-based infographics, Occupy George informs the public of America’s daunting economic disparity one bill at a time.
Because money knowledge is power.”

Just 400 Americans control as much wealth as the bottom half of the entire country.

The income growth disparity in America is wider than it was pre-Great Depression.

The richest 1% of Americans control over 1/3 of the wealth, leaving the bottom 80% with less than 1/5.

Unless things change, it’s safe to assume that our money will ultimately end up in the hands of the one percent.

Die Künstler dazu selbst:
“This is our last intervention “Radioactive Control”. It was created for the Dockville Festival in Hamburg which tried to demonstrate, in a humorous tone, the paranoia that we are suffering from since the escape of radioactive material in Japan, has brought into question the safety systems at the nuclear power plants. With our mysterious army of 100 illuminated radioactive figures, which advanced threateningly on the natural environment of the festival, we wanted to invite reflection regarding the use and abuse of nuclear energy, cheap in economic terms, but which can cause grave secondary effects for the environment and health, forever irreversible.”

Das spanische Kreativ-Kollektiv ‘Luzinterruptus‘ mit dem speziellen Faible für Interventionen im öffentlichen Raum, haben wir hier schon mehrfach und immer wieder gern erwähnt.

Diesmal möchten wir auf deren Projekt ‘Arbol alado/Winged tree’ aufmerksam machen, das im Grunde aus einem Damenbinden-Baum in voller Blüte besteht.

Luzinterruptus dazu:
“It is bothersome to see how advertising campaigns change the appearance of things so as to adapt them to their own interests, and by seeing from this point of view we feel inclined to buying the products or services advertised. It is the case of sanitary towels, for instance, which are advertised as ethereal, light, inmaculate, odorless and beautiful. But the red colour is never present and it is replaced by blue drops that fall as if it were rain on them. The slogan for the advertising campaign of sanitary towels called “Ausonia makes you feel free” (Ausonia te da alas) shows young women floating merrily in the air and the days on which they must use this item. It became an inspiration for our proposal Cellulose wings and for just this time we have believed the message and we have turned this object – so annoying to use – into a much more oneiric, pure and delicate.”

Die französiche Künstlerin Sandrine Estrade Boulet hat sich der illustrativen Irritation im öffentlichen Raum verschrieben und sieht Gesichter und Figuren, wo andere nur Müll und Großstadt sehen.
Oder wie Max Frisch es neulich so passend formuliert hat: “Alltag ist nur durch Wunder erträglich.”
