Josephine Meckseper Josephine Meckseper’s work engages leftist theories and politics in a
consumerist reality by examining the semantics of media propaganda as
well as capitalist sales and advertising strategies. Curated by associate curator Rachel Hooper, the exhibition at Blaffer Gallery
focuses on the artist’s recent works that examine the conflicting interests
of the mass media, politicians, and the oil and auto industries as played out
in the Iraq War. Among the pieces on display are Meckseper’s documentary
photographs of antiwar protests; her signature mannequin and product
display installations; a video; and a new installation created on site — a
replication of the stage sets used during U.S. presidential television debates. Jon Pylypchuk |
