Bumper stickers are a form of public art that an indivdual chooses to display for one reason or another. Bumper stickers can serve many purposes: to pursuade, to make someone laugh, for aesthetics, or to reference pop culture and display something an indivudual likes. Many stickers can cross into multiple of these categories. Stickers can have layers to their reference or humor in suprising ways, which we will examine through this exhibit. But many stickers have an overarching intent that can allow for categorization. This exhibit is broken down into four categories of stickers: humor, pop culture, pursuasion, and aesthetics. Each gallary page features an analysis of what the sticker type says about the driver and about the viewer.
This exhibit features images compiled from December 2022- March 2023.
