Bob was invited to participate in an art exhibit in Liverpool. The curator of the exhibit displays artists work on billboards in the city. One of Bob's collages Normals In Tight West (From EAT 2) is currently up in Liverpool at 48 Seel Street.

Those in the area should drive on by to check it out. Pictures of the billboard can be found here:

Wow, I'd love to be able to see it in person.

This is pretty awesome.

That is cool. Wonder why he took off the “SKIN” & “67¢” panels…?

To get it to size correctly for the billboard the curator presented Bob with two options and the one without the SKIN and .67 were definitely the better of the two options.

Yeah, this is just incredibly cool. I bet Bob is mighty proud, and rightly so.

Hah, you might get all the Bob live shows and stuff, but I least I can, er, travel halfway up the country to look at one of his collages for a few minutes. Bet you're jealous now!

You're joking and all, but I think it's very cool that you live in a country that places enough value on Art to do something like making giant billboards to hang in random locations. Not to mention they have enough of an artistic sense to appreciate someone as relatively obscure (at least int he art world) as Robert Pollard. I think it's cool as hell that this is being done. You don't see much of that here in the states...unless maybe a portion of the billboard is reserved for the Pepsi logo or something.

Citizen Fighter - very well said. I think this is extremely cool - I mean who the fuck has ever heard of Robert Pollard, especially in Britain? I would like the occasional gig over here though...

That's probably because in America art is defined as a crucifix immersed in a jar of piss or a portrait of the Virgin Mary covered with elephant shit! Perhaps if art in the states were cool like this is rather than just a feeble attempt to piss of a large portion of the population, there would be more support for projects like this!

To be fair, the Blessed Virgin Mary was done by a Nigerian born artist who, I believe resides in the UK. Piss Christ was done by an American, but has recieved acclaim by more than just the folks in the states. May not be your cup of tea, but you know, different strokes.

Still it would be pretty cool to see a pollard billboard in the states.
