Lilly Hatch, NY Magazine
SYNOPSIS:
“POPAGANDA: THE ART & CRIMES OF RON ENGLISH” is an 82-minute documentary
about the culture jamming and billboard liberation antics of Ron English:
billboard bandit, post-pop pundit, post-punk prankster, counter-cultural
cartoonist, culture-jammer. A modern Robin Hood of Madison Avenue, Ron
paints, perverts, infiltrates, reinvents and satirizes modern culture and
its popular visual iconography on canvas, in songs, and directly on hundreds
of pirated billboards. Shot entirely guerilla, this film gives the viewer an
intimate look into the life of an artist who has been at the forefront of
movements in photography, painting, activist art, and underground music.
This irreverent and provocative documentary offers up an alternative
universe where nothing is sacred, everything is subverted, and there's
always room for a little good-natured fun.
