Abstract politics

Conceived as a series of highly political abstract works for billboards, Zoran Poposki's latest project aims at reclaiming commercially usurped public space for artistic purposes. The first work in the series (Abstract Politics 1: Political Consensus Holds Key to European Integration, digital print, 2008, 300x400 cm), is installed as a megalight in the very center of Skopje, on Ilindenska Street (in front of the Macedonian Government building), thus marking the official start of the project.

Glad to see you are reclaiming the public space from corporate advertising!

Here is a nifty link on how to liberate more billboards:

Actually, I much prefer your approach of abstract politics. It is nice to see you create change!
