Urbis: CutUp Collective

The artwork produced by the CutUp Collective was exhibited at Urbis. I really liked the idea and execution. Looking at the images close up really does it justice. They recreate the billboards into a completely different newly ordered images.



CutUp are arguably the most inventive art activists in the UK. The pair rip down billboard ads, cut them into roughly even rectangles and collage them together to form artworks which they then paste back onto billboard spaces. The results are abstract, lifelike and a brilliant reinvention of in-your-face advertising.
