A sealed plastic package containing a fortune cookie with a label reading "AMY WILSON 33/100" on a plain background.
A conceptual artwork featuring a blue paper card clipped to a white background with text that reads "BEFORE or AFTER Time release capsules for temporal relief from initial shock and disbelief Dosage: take one at midnight Ingredients: BEFORE: naivete, self absorption, ignorance, denial, fatalism AFTER: righteousness, humility, self absorption, pre-9/11 nostalgia, fatalism Results may vary. Patient may experience excessive cynicism and/or hopelessness. Discontinue use. Do not consult physician. Have faith." Below the card, two capsules labeled "before" and "after" are sealed in a small plastic bag. The artist's signature and the year 2003 are written at the bottom right.
Folded newspaper with a colorful graphic of a cave on the upper right, rest of the page mostly blank with faded text.
Illustration of a paper craft model titled "The AXIS of EVIL" featuring a cut-out design for a "Homeland Defender" with instructions on how to assemble it. The design includes red and white stripes with blue accents, tabs labeled E1 to E6, a top piece, goggles, and a bottom nose flap. The top of the image has text inviting to join "Uncle Tom's Homeland Defense Club" and the bottom right corner shows a logo for "MAD Products 2002."
A grainy, high-contrast print of a person's profile with a numbered edition marking and a signature on the bottom.
Sketch of a lock and a keyhole on a white background, signed and dated by the artist.
This image features a collage with three different interpretations of the Statue of Liberty against a red and blue background. On the left, the statue is shown with a single tear and text that reads "Body accents still thriving, as seen on the I Love America, I Love Freedom commemorative disaster postcard." In the center, the text "About Town: Accessories for a New World Order" is prominent. On the right, the statue is depicted wearing armor, with a sword and shield, accompanied by text stating "The ultimate in post-9/11 style: Liberty sports armor on the memory, grief, rebirth commemorative disaster postcard." Below, there's a caption that says "Who needs light when you can have might? This sharp new look was spotted on the God Bless America commemorative disaster postcard." The overall image appears to be a satirical commentary on American patriotism and the commercialization of national symbols in the context of post-9/11 America.
Collage of vintage book pages with illustrations and text, featuring abstract shapes and figures.
