"A Logo for America," Alfredo Jaar, 1987, Times Square ~ In 1987, Jaar's work contested the meaning of America and the US flag, challenging the ethnocentrism of the United States, which obscures the identities of other countries in the American continent. Harkening back to Magritte's pipe, Jaar's message rings true today, and carries more meaning, evoking modern calls for native rights, land back, and the continued struggle to identify with a country that doesn't protect or represent its citizens.
