Art Collective Remixes Advertisments

by Jeff Squires

CutUp are an anonymous collective of artists based in East London known for experimenting with urban environments. The group’s latest project entailed the removal of large billboards and bus stop posters, which were then cut up into small squares, and then reassembled in the original location using the source material to create entirely new images.

Check out some images from the groups studio and of their work here.
