Barbara Kruger is an American conceptual artist and collagist associated with the Pictures Generation. She is recognized for her iconic collaged black-and-white photographs, overlaid with declarative captions. These phrases paired with such pronouns as “you,” “your, “I,” “we,” and “they,” address cultural constructions of power, identity, consumerism, and sexuality. Kruger utilizies mass communication and advertising techniques to explore these issues and is aligned with with such feminist post modern artists as Jenny Holzer and Sherrie Levine who implement similar techniques.

Ed Atkins
Published by MoMA PS1, New York, 2013, unpaginated, 12.7 × 20.2 cm, English
Price: €13

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Ed Atkins at MoMA PS1, New York, 20 January – 14 April, 2013.

Known for his high-definition videos that defy narrative conventions, Ed Atkins works with filmic and text-based forms in technological transition. The artist considers HD technology deathlike because of how it intensifies the visibility of the filmed subject, creating an image that prioritises its own representation over the language, character, and emotions of the figures it depicts. Often creating installations that include collage, drawing, and other mediums, the artist deploys this bodiless movie format to highlight the conflicting intimacies that today’s mechanisms of cultural production represent and allow us to achieve.
