Blurring the Lines Between the Tangible and the Digital
On February 7, 2022, The Billboard Creative debuts its eighth and latest billboard exhibition: a showcase of 30 NFT photographs by emerging artists from across the globe, located in clusters throughout Los Angeles neighborhoods. Developed in with Obscura.io, a community-run platform facilitating opportunities for photographers to pursue projects through the sale of NFTs, the exhibited works were submitted in response to a public post on Discord and selected by Artist Mona Kuhn and Obscura’s co-founder Alejandro Cartagena. By bringing the emerging digital medium of NFTs to the streets of Los Angeles, the exhibition blurs the line between the tangible and the digital, the traditional and the modern, and the micro and the macro.

LOS ANGELES, February 3, 2020 – The non-profit arts organization The Billboard Creative opens its sixth exhibition, bringing large-format art from emerging and established artists to 34 billboards across Los Angeles.
Andrea Blanch is the founder and editor-in-chief of Musée Magazine, a leading online art magazine at the vanguard of photography and film culture, dedicated to exposing audiences to the most dynamic, unexpected, and cutting edge photography from both up-and-coming and established photographers, while working alongside the industry’s most prestigious artists, gallerists, curators, and collectors.
JAM! featuring artworks by three leading female contemporary artists: Alex Prager, Jennifer Steinkamp, and Mona Kuhn. This exhibition is the first in a series of micro-initiatives, smaller shows aimed at keeping its mission of connecting artists and audiences on the streets of Los Angeles active throughout the year. Prager, Steinkamp, and Kuhn were selected for their unique dialogue with film and photography, two of the quintessential artistic mediums of Los Angeles. All three artists live and work in Los Angeles and play a vibrant role in the cultural community, fostering learning and supporting emerging artists. The artworks will be displayed on three prominent billboards across the city, with two billboards located in downtown Los Angeles, and another across from Paramount Studios in Hollywood. The goal of this exhibition, as with all TBC initiatives, is to broaden the reach of public art — transforming the streets of Los Angeles into an open-air museum, accessible to all.
Mona Kuhn is best known for her large-scale, dream-like photographs of the human form. Her work often references classical themes with a light and insightful touch. Kuhn's approach to her photography is unusual in that she usually develops close relationships with her subjects, resulting in images of remarkable naturalness and intimacy, and creating the effect of people naked but comfortable in their own skin. Kuhn was born in São Paolo, Brazil, in 1969, of German descent. She received her BA from the Ohio State University, before furthering her studies at the San Franscisco Art Institute in 1996. She is currently an independent scholar at The Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles.

In 2012, we installed our first billboard, serving as a proof of concept. It was a few years before we fully established the nonprofit.
