I mentioned this on "The Gang of Four" yesterday, a piece of art by Guelph's Gabriel Parniak called Cup (24 Ounces of Misrepresentation). It was part of Ed Video Media Arts Centre's contribution to the Supermarket art exhibition at Kulturhuset in Stockholm, Sweden. The piece caused a bit of a fervor on Reddit when it was posted by Ed Video's programming director Scott McGovern, which is exactly what you want from a piece of art. Is it a commentary on how a corporate brand has become so integrally tied to our national identity, or maybe the skill and precision of the beadwork mocks the middling cup of coffee that this cup usually holds? What do you think?
