KICK THE CLOUDS
Text installation, 2018
“Kick The Clouds” is temporary, text-based billboard produced by Janks Archive for The City Billboard in Greensboro, North Carolina.
About the text:
“Kick The Clouds” is an English translation of the Lithuanian spardyk debesis. This traditional Lithuanian saying is the equivalent of telling someone to “get lost” – basically telling them to go do something impossible. We learned this phrase in Kaunas, Lithuania in January, 2016 during a collection event for the Janks Archive project.
