“Everything is a reality show. The only escape is advertising.” – Knight Landesman, from the introduction to AD BOOK 

The New York based collective BFFA3AE has created an AD BOOK which consists entirely of advertisements: for artists, galleries, publications, businesses, and anything arts related. It has 231 pages including 200 ads from emerging and established artists and institutions from New York, London, and elsewhere. The adds have been designed exclusively for this book, including also animated pieces.
 
"AD BOOK contributors purchased ad space based on a price determined by BFFA3AE’s own invented system of value. Each ad—like all great advertising—teeters at the edge of expression, promotion, and common sense. Taken as a whole, AD BOOK testifies to how perverse and diverse any self-respecting marketplace of ideas ought to be." See more;
