Masterclass with Steve Lambert

Steve Lambert is an American artist who works with issues of advertising and the use of public space. He is an artist, artistic activist, creative activist, co-founder of the Center for Artistic Activism and and Associate Professor at SUNY Purchase. 

Lambert made international news after the 2008 US election with The New York Times “Special Edition,” a replica of the “paper of record” announcing the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and other good news. In the Summer of 2011 he began a national tour of Capitalism Works For Me! True/False – a 9 x 20ft sign allowing people to vote on whether capitalism worked for them. Steve has collaborated with groups from the Yes Men to the Graffiti Research Lab and Greenpeace. 

He is also the founder of the Center for Artistic Activism, the Anti-Advertising Agency, Add-Art (a Firefox add-on that replaces online advertising with art) and Self-Control (which blocks grownups from distracting websites so they can get work done). 

Steve’s projects and art works have won awards from Prix Ars Electronica, Rhizome/The New Museum, the Creative Work Fund, Adbusters Media Foundation, the California Arts Council, and others. Lambert’s work has been shown everywhere from museums to protest marches nationally and internationally, featured in over fourteen books, four documentary films, and is in the collections of The Sheldon Museum, the Progressive Insurance Company, and The Library of Congress.
