Not your ordinary billboards
Ever wonder what all those artistic and creative billboards are sprinkled around the city in place of the usual ads?
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth has been extending its reach into urban landscapes with contemporary artworks and cultural curiosities on billboards instead of traditional commercial advertising.
”Modern Billings XI” opened its exhibition in outdoor spaces on Friday, June 24; it will continue through Aug. 7.
Using space from Clear Channel Outdoor as programming sites, Modern Billings XI features artists Margaret Meehan and Andrea Tosten with their works shown in under-served communities along the edges of downtown Fort Worth.
This version of Modern Billings places the large-scale installations along a stretch of Jacksboro Highway northwest of downtown.
Meehan, a Virginia-based artist, references the Greek myth of Cassandra for this exhibit as a way to empower women and femme identified individuals.
Tosten, of Dallas, references the use of paper, thread, and ink to display words and symbols that entice viewers to look them up and learn the history associated with them.
