Artists & Activists • Marcel Duchamp • Cindy Sherman • Ron English • Barbara Kruger • “immortalized everyday objects, signs, and symbols by compelling their viewers to find new meaning in the familiar, thereby exposing the delicate balance between the visual and the invisible, the cultural and the political” (Darts, 2006).
