Art Comes to the Interstate

 

This month, the cross-country art exhibition “The Manifest Destiny Billboard Project” starts with the artist Shana Lutker’s ethereal cloudscapes on billboards posted on Interstate 10 in Jacksonville, Fla. The installation, which was curated by Zoe Crosher and Shamim M. Momin, will eventually include roadside posters by artists like Crosher, Mickalene Thomas and Mario Ybarra Jr. at stops all the way to Los Angeles. “Instead of talking about the trip west,” Crosher says, “the idea is to physically move through the very landscape being fantasized.”
