Vermibus, the Spanish street artist and activist based in Berlin is celebrating his 10th anniversary of adbusting on the streets of the world. We have previously written about his work on these pages here, here, here, and here, – and we have introduced his work to audiences during lectures and talks at festivals, classrooms, theaters, and museums.

The power of his installation style is dual on streets; a back-lit critique of consumer culture/ beauty culture/ our luxury class system foisted on everyday people – as well as a hearty aesthetic trolling through the world of classical beauty and its shadows that hide the grotesque.
As long as we’re feeling nostalgic, we culled some photos from our archives to share with you from his visits to NYC in February of 2016 and in September of 2015.

DECENNIUM 2011 – 2021
“Although this is the conceptual framework in which the artist has developed his work in the last 10 years, the interpretation of his work goes far beyond his counter-advertising militarism.
Other fundamental aspects can be found in his work, such as his reflection on ownership, use of public space, appropriation, and re-interpretation of photography, a profound development of his personal technique or field study he makes while choosing locations, where to install his paintings, are essential for a full understanding of his work.
With his current exhibition ‘DECENNIUM’ the artist is bringing focus on this last aspect, and how the perception of his work changes in one space or another. Exploring how the context that holds his work has a direct relationship in how his message is understood, questioning whether it acquires or loses meaning exposed in one place or another.”
