Task 4

Stefan Sagmeister, 'Obessions make my life worse and my work better' http://www.sagmeister.com/taxonomy/term/32#/node/207

Sagmeister has collected many copper coins and layed them out in a public area forming a decorative typeface. I find this refuses to set into any art form, it is design in that it communicates an idea, but it defies any sort of real communication that the public could access easily. Definitely questions the convention of design and where it can be produced and seen.

I find this to be experimental, and also slightly untasteful and called 'kitsch', a way of art that postmodernism would go towards.

Again, experimental design and quite crude looking, against any kind of style and against the modernism art ideal.

Roy Lichtenstein, 1963, 'Thinking of him'

Extreme experimentation, particularly at this time in history, something that was completely new and defied the normal art forms. Working with the low tech but for the mass media and high culture. 

Jenny Holzer, 'Protect me from what I want'

Experimental, against modernism, cutting between fine art and design, however art for art's sake.
