After 26 seasons and a feature length film, the success of the Simpsons doesn't need to be proved. When you have such an influence on the popular imagination, everything is possible, and that is what happened in the 1990s with the bootleg bart phenomenon. Artists created their own versions of the character to include him in some weird, trashy or political situations (sometimes all three). Be Street revived the unofficial part of Bart's story by inviting over 60 international artists to produce some new and exclusive pieces. We weren't invited, but we've included our bootleg bart at the bottom of this post just for your personal reference.
The exhibition was shown in Los Angeles on July 25th to 26th 2015, then presented at the Be Street Weekend in Paris on October 3rd and 4th 2015. More info at Be Street. All Photos by Erwin Recinos.
