Art is Dead
Art is Dead
¡Art is Dead!
THE MESSAGE
SIMPLY PUT, WE WANT TO MAKE LIFE A LITTLE BETTER.
Three short words. One devastating message.
A small tiny sticker, shared over the world, creating new messages on every continent and art of the world.
Grabbing strangers unexpectedly in the whim of their daily life, and unapologetically saying it’s ok to be art. From bathroom stalls to locker rooms, street signs, to lamp posts, museums, given with a tip, left on a bus seat, or in the back of a cab.
Get involved today! Grab some stickers, and share them with your world!
IT'S AN IDEA.
Art is Dead is more than a little sticker, it’s a lifestyle. It’s a way to change how people think about art, a way to redefine the meaning of objects and locations, a way to remind ourselves that even when things are as meaningful as they are nihilistic.
It began simply with 76 stickers in March 2020 in Chicago during my research on the meaning of art in the given context. At this stage of the process, it is invited for people to use the sticker to both define and redefine things or places which they believe is art or not art.
What happens next is up to you.

What is Art is Dead?
Art is Dead started as a passion project in October 2019 when I was trying to research on the meaning of art and painting in this meta-modernist society of technology alongside countless global issues constantly happening. In fact, it has driven me to think about what’s the meaning of art in a larger and broader assessable term to people. Especially, it is believed by many art philosophers, professors, and critics like Arthur Danto, Andrew Falkowski, Walter Robinson, and others, that art zombification (formally called Zombie Formalism) is the current trend of art produced nowadays. Conceptually derived from a painting project, Art is Dead started with 76 stickers, with a goal to recognize what art is now in this day and age. The project was a collaboration of people around the world directed by SAIC MFA candidate, Anko Chang with the help of other artists and art lovers including LA-based photographer, Alex Jeedlaf Hernandez.
