Speaking of street art… we’re not exactly sure if Enjoy Banking is a street artist or a group of street artists. Is it a faux-subversive ad campaign, an ironic critique of financial practices, a bubbley condemnation of consumer apathy, or all of the above? While the messages are funny- “Enjoy Credit Crunch,” “Enjoy Bailout Package,” etc.- the stickers are pretty slick and so is the website giving the campaign a somewhat calculated feeling. When the streets of major cities are covered in visual detritus (as Amze’s recent post documents), it takes a focused concept and a unique look to break through the noise. In the same way that museums have shifted to blockbuster shows to compete, is the era of blockbuster street art upon us?
