Abstract: Consumer society and compulsive consumption, using and disposing, the accumulation of goods
generates fascination to pop artists who benefit from the means at their reach to become
themselves a product ready for advertising. It's surprising that Warhol -as an example- leaves
his atelier as a creative space, the workshop on which a craft is practiced and instead opens a
factory of art where taking amphetamines, film a movie, be part of an orgy or make a lithograph
are equally possible. Slogans, jingles and catchy phrases integrate comfortably into art. |
