STICK(ER) IT TO THE MAN. by Matt Plezier and Gloria Glitzer

Stickers in the urban landscape engage with public spaces in a direct manner. Public space is integral to people's ability to express and claim the right to the city, "not merely a right of access to what already exists, but a right to change it after our heart's desire" (David Harvey, 2003). Stickers are ideal for this task, they are cheap to make, they stick to any surface and are * hard to clean. Many protest stickers are attempts to persuade, to bring attention to urgent themes, or are a form of territorial space-claiming. Whatever the goal, stickers participate in public debates transforming the public space into a bulletin board. — Matt Plezier
