Signs that say what you want them to say and not Signs that say what someone else wants you to say
- London: Maureen Paley / Interim Art, 1997
London: Maureen Paley / Interim Art, 1997. Light toning to the covers and a small area at the bottom of the back cover where the laminate is peeling, otherwise near fine in photo-illustrated wrappers.. First Edition. Octavo. Limited edition of 1500 copies. Wearing's classic street / documentary photography subversion, with strangers asked to write on a blank sheet of paper. The subjects, as the artist says, engineer their own representation, to sometimes hilarious, sometimes serious effect. A sort of YBA update to Goldberg's 'Rich and Poor,' the text now in the picture.
