Untitled (Death By Gun), 1990
Untitled (USA Today), 1990
First of all, let's acknowledge the contradiction in naming something untitled, and then having a more specific title in brackets.
Anyway,
The works have a very minimalist form in the photos I've seen, but they are meant to change as they go on. The audience is invited to take from the exhibition the candy in the piles or the printed posters, effectively changing the work over time. There are several works that incorporate candy each with a different meaning.
USA Today seems to me both a celebration and criticism. Made with the colours on the US flag, it's very bright and cheerful, but it's also seems to be a comment on consumerism. But while it is a criticism, viewers are invited to take from it.
