Ours is a culture defined by marketing and acquiring. Virtually
every activity in our lives is experienced through purchases, from
layettes to caskets. The landscape is studded with logos, brand
names, and billboards. Branded and On Display examines the work of
artists who explore specific strategies of branding and
presentation in their response to this pervasively commoditized
environment. Representing a range of media - sculpture, video,
installation, sound, painting, and photography - the work is
compelling and provocative, nudging us to "re-view" our culture
with an appraising eye. There is an exhilarating range of concerns
and media represented by artists Ai Weiwei, Conrad Bakker, Amy
Barkow, Ashley Bickerton, Michael Blum, Louis Cameron, Diller +
Scofidio, Terence Gower, Laurie Hogin, Pierre Huyghe, Clay Ketter,
Ryan McGinness, Donna Nield, Haim Steinbach, Tempi & Wolf,
Yuken Teruya, Hank Willis Thomas, Brian Ulrich, Siebren Versteeg,
and Zhao Bandi. Daniel Thomas Cook is a sociologist of advertising
and communication at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. Nine stories by Dung Kai-cheung, an author and
teacher of creative writing in Hong Kong, were translated by Winnie
Won Yin Wong. Other contributors include Ginger Gregg Duggan,
Judith Hoos Fox, Cele C. Otnes, and Linda M. Scott.
