Hah...late post. Well we never did finish the film, but I did learn about who Barbara Kruger is and her role in the art world. I knew I've seen her posters before all around because they are so popular but I didn't know who created them. I like their witty humor in some of them, the bold graphic design of the letters collaged onto the black and white photos. I find it interesting that she was a worker for hire graphic designer, hated doing others assignments and just broke away from it to pursue her own career as an independent artist. Her work was also made during womens' rights movement at the time, which would explain why her images are so strong and are primarily in a photographic collage medium. And even though she refuses to explain the political influence her work has over people she at least acknowledges the power they potentially hold. It's interesting how she explains that omnipresence of power that is all around us. Politics discussions always become heated so it was probably a good idea for her not to go into depth her political views and the meaning behind her works. We as a society, people, and viewers definately need to take a step back from the television and world of reproduction around us and think for a bit the meaning behind it and not just entertainment.
