To start with.

Going back through my research for my Artist Presentation from last term, on Damián Ortega, I remembered that his installation at the Barbican Art Gallery in London is currently showing works created and inspired from newspaper headlines from The Independent during August 29 through September 27.

Here's one that caught my eye/might just be my favorite so far: (a response to Ryanair's denial in the existence of global warming)

    I like the seeming simplicity in terms of the objects. The visual clarity emphasizes the conceptual.

    Makes me think: we have soooooo many players, we're going to have to be careful of clutter! How shall we edit?!?
