About the Exhibition

MoSA: The Museum of Sticker Art is an installation project conceived and curated by Tommy Mintz. The piece stretches over three walls of KAM--some 108 feet--and is comprised of hundreds of stickers painstakingly removed from NYC streets and carefully catalogued as to their former location on streetlamps, walls, mailboxes, and various public spaces.  Like graffiti artists, contemporary sticker artists often use their medium to convey political and social messages; other times they are lampooning cultural figures or timeworn ideas of modernity and urban life.  Through this unique installation, Mintz celebrates these street artists by presenting them in a gallery context, while simultaneously creating his own larger, more meta, artwork that addresses issues of authorship, the dichotomy between street art and fine art, and the tropes of art history and museum curation, cataloguing, and presentation.
