O.B. IS A Saint Paul-BASED ARTIST WORKING IN COLLAGE. They cut through headlines, propaganda, and erasure to make visible history as it unfolds -
and how it feels to live through it.  
   
Through layering scraps, symbols, and fragments, O.B. builds a visual language that mirrors the fractures of the world around them. Headlines clash with found imagery, propaganda rubs against poetry, and absences are marked as loudly as presences. Each collage becomes both an archive and a rupture - a way of speaking when words alone are not enough.

THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA (21 COLLAGE POSTERS, JUNE 22 - JULY 12 2025)


A 21-DAY SILENT PROTEST PERFORMANCE AND VISUAL ARCHIVE.
AT THE MINNESOTA STATE CAPITOL, I HELD A POSTER IN SILENCE FOR 21 DAYS WITH ONE QUESTION IN MIND:
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO LIVE THROUGH THE COLLAPSE OF A NATION THAT STILL CALLS ITSELF FREE?

MY GOAL WAS TO REVEAL, DAILY, A PROTEST COLLAGE - A REFLECTION OF THE HEADLINES, HARMS, AND HYPOCRISIES SHAPING LIFE IN THE U.S. NOW. THESE POSTERS, ROOTED IN POLITCAL MEMORY, CUT THROUGH PROPAGANDA OF THE SO-CALLED ‘GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA’ TO ASK: GOLDEN FOR WHOM? AND AT WHAT COST?’

THIS SERIES IS AN EMOTIONAL EXCAVATION, PART MOURNING, PART MIRROR, GROUNDED IN THE BELIEF THAT ART CAN DISRUPT, REMEMBER, AND RESIST.
