The basic concept is to use public and abandoned spaces for art installations, allowing accessibility for anyone searching them out. This installation took a year's worth of planning, location scouting and production to produce the 4.500 posters needed to fill the space. The "Baby Fatso" artwork is from a series of "Obesity in America" drawings. The strongest drawing of the series provides a dialogue about social commentary and meaning behind healthy dietary choices. - enjoy Addison currently lives and creates in Berlin. As Karl Addison's art and vision evolves-from blank slate, to pen, to paper, to mural, to installation, to unoccupied public space-so does our understanding and comprehension of the world around us. We may not notice his input, infiltrating our subconscious-our everyday-but it's there. His purpose (it seems) is three-fold: to amuse us the first time we discover one of his pieces, to draw us in-inviting us to take a closer look, and to make us stop and see every minute detail-and in a sense, to stop and see him. He wants us to value his tiny lines, his details, to appreciate his world-view and hopefully, start extolling the tiny details in our own lives.
