barbara kruger installation at the AGO



a site-specific work by american artist barbara kruger is currently on display along the façade of the art
gallery of ontario (AGO) in toronto. the public installation is located on the north facade of the frank
gehry designed gallery as part of the contact photography festival. the piece was created by kruger in
response to the festival’s theme ‘pervasive influence’. the work consists of a  series of found images
and statements that includes ‘shove it’, ‘love it’, ‘kiss it’, believe it’ and ‘shame it’. the project aims
to explore ‘how photography informs and transforms human behavior, especially via the medium’s
connections to mass media, advertising, consumerism, and propaganda.’ the installation will be on
show until august 30, 2010.

technologic. technologic.

reminds me way too much of the daft punk song. it follows the format of a bunch of one syllable words... "it" ending with a two syllable word... "it"

This is SO good in person, but these photos need to be WAY BETTER in order to do justice to the scale and impact of the installation.
