About “Crude”:
Ten vacuum-formed plastic and steel signs depicting the abstracted logos of the ten oil companies traded on the N.Y.S.E. The size of each sign corresponds to each company’s total gross revenues in 2001. Exxon Mobil, the largest at 7.25′ x 7.25′ x 2′, was in “Open House: Working in Brooklyn,” at the Brooklyn Museum. Several of these editioned signs have sold into private collections.

Quite a clever way to bring attention to the world’s serious issues. I also enjoy the irony of making these pieces from the recycled signs of the oil companies, these are recycled right? This is the logo, the brand, that the general public have contact with; more than those who run the companies themselves. The artist, gauging from the web-site, really enjoys the humor in things. I do really appreciate the research behind the project, instead of throwing out some shallow politically minded statement. It is a simple and cleanly presented show.

Surely these are adverts, not art?
