Ghosts Inside of You.

ROBERT MONTGOMERY WORKS IN A POETIC AND MELANCHOLIC POST-SITUATIONIST TRADITION—(from the artist’s website HERE) I think I must be a melancholic poetic post-situationist, though I’ve never couched it in those terms.

Never seen this guy’s work. I’m seriously lovin’ it. Propaganda/poetry/art/advertising. Very unexpected. Working within sort of “advertising” conventions, but still poking you in the eye. Hard. Have always loved the work of word-people like Jenny Holzer and Barbara Kruger. Montgomery’s not quite as obtuse.
