The “Obliterate Bad Art Sticker” was handed out on the streets of Center CIty Philadelphia in 1998 as part of the artists’ “Obliterate Bad Art Project.” a component of the artists’ Zero .1 Percent for Art Commission. The Commission’s stated mission is to bridge the gap between ordinary people and art.

This is one of four separate, related pieces given away on the streets of Philadelphia at different times. All of the objects were included in a solo show (April 27, 2008) at the Philadelphia Institute for Advanced Studies (PiFAS). It was a one day show/giveaway in a mini-tabletop gallery called GUS. The show was called the “Zero .1% For Art Commission Reading Room and Fire Sale.”
