Civic Flyer - Chicago Artist’s Pop-Art Car Cover

As the story goes, Chicago artist Jonathan Gitelson became annoyed with the surfeit of flyers that would become plastered to his Honda’s windshield after moving across from The Funky Buddha lounge, a trendy Windy City hotspot. Every morning, he’d arrive to his 1999 Honda Civic DX, only to find it loaded with flyers for other clubs, restaurants, shows, and so on, along with finding the streets peppered with discarded flyers, or what he calls “expensively printed instant garbage.”

Being of a creative sort, Gitelson began collecting the flyers, eventually amassing over 1,000 of them. For his “Car Project,” he then spent three months stitching the flyers together to create a giant car cover.

The artist then parked his Honda in front of various Chicago clubs (whose flyers were sewn into the cover) and photographed it. The completed car cover has since been displayed draped over a metal sculpture modeled on the Civic DX’s frame.
