Monthly Statement:
April 2006
Just got back from Naples Italy where I set up a studio, stole
all the posters from the streets and created a solo show for
the http://www.changingrole.com
gallery. It was a great experience and the response to my
art was really overwhelming. There are more posters in Naples
than I've ever seen anywhere that I've ever been. I thought
I died and went to poster nirvana. Check out the photos that
I have of posters on the street and you'll understand. The
posters are everywhere and incredibly thick on the walls.
I was lucky enough to catch some of the people who put up
the posters in the act. This April's update focuses mainly
on the posters in the street and the May update will be concerned
with my studio practice and the art works that I created while
I was there.
Have fun,
Michael Anderson

Process:
I
will gather advertising posters from public spaces (as many
of a specific kind as possible) and create collages from them.
