NY Artist Reclaims Property, Guerilla Style

New Yorker, Jordan Seiler, has taken to making art and contesting property rights not in Gotham City, but rather in Toronto. Seiler, the founder of the Public Ad Campaign, has an initiative committed to reclaiming public space from what the campaign contends are illegal advertisers, and filling it with guerilla art. Seiler’s main enemy is Canadian billboard giant Pattison Outdoor.  “Public space should be a place for public communication,” said the 30-year-old Seiler. “I feel like I have a right to react against (advertisements) when, in particular, they’re done illegally.” Via The Star.
