Ok so now on to the image as text, I would like to try to analyze something a little on the tricky side but it is something I have been thinking about pretty much constantly since I first saw it a few weeks ago at the Whitney. The Piece is called “We Like America and America Likes Us” by an anymous artist collective called the Bruce High Quality Foundation. Already we have two references at least, the title of the piece a reference to Joseph Beuys’ performance from 1974 called “I Like America and America Likes Me” where he traveled from the airport by ambulance to an art gallery that he shared with a coyote for three days, befriends the animal, performs some rituals, and then travels back to Germany, getting to the airport again, in an ambulance. The Bruce, in BHQF is reportedly a reference to Bruce Nauman, but I’m not sure of that. So the piece is a sculpture a found object that is a part ambulance part hearse. It is all white, its healights are on and on its windshield is a video projection.
