Angebote / Angebote:
Who speaks? Who is silent? Who is seen? Who is absent? These questionsfocus on how cultures are constructed through pictures and words, how we are seducedinto a world of appearances: into a pose of who we are and aren't. On both anemotional and an economic level, images and texts have the power to make us rich orpoor. In these essays and reviews, written over the last decade, Barbara Krugeraddresses that power with intelligence and wit, in the hope of engaging both ourcriticality and our dreams of affirmation.Barbara Kruger is an artist whose picturesand words engage issues of power, sex, money, difference, and death. Her work hasappeared throughout America, Europe, and Japan in galleries, newspapers, magazines, and museums and on billboards, matchbooks, TV programs, t-shirts, postcards, andshopping bags. She has written about television, film, and cultures for Artforum, Esquire, the New York Times, and the Village Voice.
