Cool'eh Magazine Issue No.4-Vol No.2

Cooleh ran an arts issue in which they gave a whole bunch of artists two pages to show their work. This image was taken by Adam Amengual for a Tank Theory print advertisement, which only ran in magazines. I was glad to be able to put this image to work for better things and along more legitimate documentation of my work. Obviously there are some contradictions here in my choice to be in an advertisement at all. The issue for me is not with advertising, but its overwhelming presence in areas where the viewer has no choice but to take in the messages. Public space is an environment built for public communication and reciprocal interactions. Advertising is a sanctioned invasion of the public sphere by private entities. www.coolehmag.com
