my prof was talking today about some artist who takes photos of urban landscapes and then replaces all of the adds/billboards/signs/etc. with white boxes. but he couldn't remember the guy's name, anyone know who he is talking about?
thanks!

I remember the site. It's not something I'd bookmark but if my memory is ok I think I saw it here in one of the columns to the left or maybe in Fecalface around November 2005.
my memory may not be ok.

doesn't sound like an artist to me... sounds like a hack.

maybe felix gonzalez-torres ? sure he did some billboard stuff at one point - and he was all minimalist and conceptual so the blank space would suit....

haha, class. it's really a hack.
people have this strange notions about art these days: doing clever trendy shit no one did before is not enough. It may be a funny door but it's the full house.
there's walls for miles.

it's the full house = it's NOT the full house. sorry.
