Part of an initiative to bring art to new sites within and around the building, this installation by Barbara Kruger will fill the Lower Level lobby and extend into the newly relocated Museum bookstore. Famous for her incisive photomontages, Kruger has focused increasingly over the past two decades on creating environments that surround the viewer with language. The entire space—walls, floor, escalator sides—will be wrapped in text-printed vinyl, immersing visitors in a spectacular hall of voices, where words either crafted by the artist or borrowed from the popular lexicon address conflicting perceptions of democracy, power, and belief.
In 'American Vamp' the Baltimore Rock Opera Society Skewers Creepy Capitalism
The decision to set this piece in the 1980s is not merely an aesthetic choice. Never mind that many of the cast and crew weren’t alive during that decade; "American Vamp" purposefully eschews the nostalgia trip of Stranger Things to instead view the era through the lens of Reaganomics.
