In this week's episode I consider what it means to have something ‘useful’ to say in a world saturated with visual and textual information, with some words of wisdom from a stranger, the art of Barbara Kruger, and something very lovely that one of you said to me.
Kruger has been making art since the 1970s, and is known for her bold text-based images, which address mechanisms of power, gender, class and capital. Through her provocative slogans and images appropriated from mass media, Kruger challenges viewers to critically examine societal norms and values.
