How Many Billboards? Art Instead How Many Billboards? Art Instead How Many Billboards? Art Instead, was a large scale urban art exhibition in Los Angeles, California. The exhibition, which opened in February 2010, concurrently displayed 21 unique billboards created by various leading contemporary Californian artists. Organized by MAK Center director Kimberli Meyer and co-curated by Nizan Shaked and Dr. Gloria Sutton, the exhibition asked artists "to create a new work that critically responded to the medium of the billboard and interpreted its role in the urban landscape". Notable contemporary artist Martha Rosler and her son Josh Neufeld were among some of the commissioned artists. https://www.fastcompany.com/1559860/los-angeles-swaps-21-billboards-art
