This is the definition of life imitating artwork, solely right here … it is from Larry David‘s world.
Check out this defacement job that occurred on a billboard on the nook of Centinela Ave. and Santa Monica Blvd. right here in Los Angeles — the place an commercial for Susie Essman’s Caftan from “Curb Your Enthusiasm” went up someday this previous week in an homage to the present.
If you are unfamiliar, her Susie character from ‘Curb’ began her personal enterprise and threw up a billboard to promote it — which bought vandalized on TV with folks drawing penises round her face … one thing that delighted LD.
As it seems … HBO commissioned an actual duplicate of this pretend TV billboard to go up in actual life as properly, and to no one’s shock — it was additionally defaced, identical to on ‘CYE.’
INDECLINE
If you are questioning who’s answerable for the tag job … we have now a solution. There’s an activist artwork collective referred to as INDECLINE — they usually say they’re those who pulled this off. We’re instructed this went down early Friday morning … they usually even filmed themselves doing it.
The motive … they are saying they have been simply fulfilling a want from none aside from ‘Curb’ star Jeff Garlin himself … who responded to somebody this week after the billboard went up and wrote, “Someone should put a d*** up there. Maybe two.” Welp, that is precisely what INDECLINE did.
The collective tells TMZ, they offer Larry plenty of credit score for forming their humorousness and sensibility … so that they really feel they have been paying homage to him by finishing up this stunt.
They add, “A few nights ago, we watched in awe as one of our favorite pastimes, ‘billboard liberation, was incorporated into the latest episode. We received a flood of texts and DMs about the existence of the billboard in Los Angeles and even saw that Jeff Garland was on Instagram calling for it to be altered.”
INDECLINE goes on … “So, as a thank you to Larry David, for his contribution to the field of art imitating life, we give you our contribution to the practice of life imitating art.”
The apparent query is … are cops gonna look into this? We’re instructed by legislation enforcement sources that, at this level, no one has referred to as in simply but to report a criminal offense — so so far as they’re involved … there’s not a lot to do about this for now.
BTW, these are the identical guys that did the bare Trump statue years in the past … so there you go. They’re recognized for stuff like this — they usually did not disappoint right here both.
Cue ‘Frolic’!
