Kruger, Barbara
Remote Control: Power, Cultures and the World of Appearances
Cambridge, MA MIT Press 1993 0262111772 / 9780262111775 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
Cloth, 251 pp., index; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. Kruger became famous in the 1980s for her Freudian/feminist/postmodernist montages that recall the dada photomontages of John Heartfield and deconstruct the tropes of advertising and photography in our consumer culture. Her work is widely regarded for reversing the "male gaze" and critiquing sexist stereotypes in patriarchal society. She wrote several columns on media matters for Artforum & elsewhere, collected here. "Who speaks? Who is silent? Who is seen? Who is absent? These questions focus on how cultures are constructed through pictures and words, how we are seduced into a world of appearances: into a pose of who we are and aren't. On both an emotional and an economic level, images and texts have the power to make us rich or poor. In these essays and reviews, written over the last decade, Barbara Kruger addresses that power with intelligence and wit, in the hope of engaging both our criticality and our dreams of affirmation. Barbara Kruger is an artist whose pictures and words engage issues of power, sex, money, difference, and death. Her work has appeared throughout America, Europe, and Japan in galleries, newspapers, magazines, and museums and on billboards, matchbooks, TV programs, t-shirts, postcards, and shopping bags. She has written about television, film, and cultures for Artforum, Esquire, the New York Times, and the Village Voice." - Publisher.
