Bad News Project is a project which conceptually re-examines the content of the information that newspapers offer to the public on a daily basis. The exhibited newspaper is designed and printed by the artist, as interpretation of information published in one day within the London’s Metro newspaper, paper distributed for free in London Underground system. The black colour area in the artist’s newspaper looks at the issue of the commercialisation of newspapers by blacking out only the advertisements published in the original newspaper in a single day.
