about the show
Los Angeles, CA - November 1, 2003 - Gallery sixteen:one is pleased to announce the first major Los Angeles exhibition by the internationally exhibited artist-activist collaborative THINK AGAIN.
THINK AGAIN has produced an array of public art interventions which recruit artmaking in the service of political action. The exhibition surveys six years of public art and graphic agitation and showcases documentation of THINK AGAIN’s most prominent public projects, including Protestgraphics, Economic Boom For Whom?, and Queer Essentials. The exhibit also debuts new mural photo-collages, which combine the culture’s most prominent media images with documentary photographs of contested public sites from Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco, and New York.
The exhibition also launches the national tour for THINK AGAIN’s new book, entitled A Brief History of Outrage. A Brief History of Outrage is a visual argument against political indifference, and includes work on contemporary issues from the economic inequities of the Clinton years to the current assault on civil liberties. A Brief History of Outrage taps into people’s individual sense of political possibility and moves beyond sloganeering to spark the political imagination.
THINK AGAIN is a two-person public art collaboration between digital artist David Attyah and photographer S.A. Bachman. Attyah and Bachman's work has been exhibited at the Museu d´Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Museum of New Art, ICA Boston, Alternative Museum, Exit Art, and Track 16 Gallery. Their art is represented in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Palacio de Artes Plastico Bellas Artes in Mexico City, Rose Art Museum, and Center for the Study of Political Graphics. THINK AGAIN has been extensively published in journals including Artforum, Ms. Magazine, and Newsweek International, and is forthcoming in books by Phaidon and Duke Press.
