Summary:

With an introduction by John McEnroe in a video created by Barbara Kruger, the second half of this program turns its eye on the influences a consumerist society and pop culture exert on contemporary art and vice-versa. Featured are the experimental home, "furniture" designs, clothing and artificial island of Andrea Zittel. The paintings of Michael Ray Charles analyze the historical relationship between advertising images and cultural stereotypes. And Mel Chin connects to culture and commerce through an eclectic body of work that deals with everything from television's "Melrose Place" to his Detroit "revival field" project, which attempts to clean polluted plots of land.
