NSFW/SVILOVA, Gothenburg, Sweden, 2024
50 x 70 cm, edition of 300 printsThe exhibition was a public art project presented in poster format and was displayed on 31 public billboards around Gothenburg, Sweden.
The artwork is inspired by SpongeBob SquarePants, the main character of the American animated television series of the same name, which was released by Nickelodeon in July 1999.
The show's massive popularity has resulted in a significant online presence, leading to a wide range of memes and derivative works based on the main character. As fragments of the show are screenshotted, cropped, altered with text, and visually manipulated, they take on a life of their own, transforming the character from a pop culture phenomenon into a meme culture icon.
The ‘SpongeBob SquarePants (character) no.1’ is part of a series of posters created by the artist that center around characters from the most memeable famous movies and TV shows.
