Delettering the Public Space

/>Not sure how we missed this one, but earlier this month artists Christoph
Steinbrener & Rainer Dempf somehow managed to convince the city officials of
Vienna and the local shopowners on Neubaugasse, a popular Viennese shopping
street, to cover in a monocrome yellow fabric, all advertising signs, slogans,
company names and logos. The art installation, called href="http://www.steinbrener-dempf.com/delete.php?cat=home">DELETE!, was up
for two weeks ending on June 20th. While we’ve seen sketches, we haven’t yet
seen any photos of the actual installation. Did it happen? Did everyone end up
agreeing to participate? Anyone have any photos?
