I am pleased to announce the publication of my recent article,
'Radical Refamiliarization,' co-authoredwith John Armitage
(University of Northumbria) for The Journal ofVisual Culture
(Volume 8, number 2, August 2009). The issue is out at last.
It is a Special Issue in which a number of scholars,educators,
curators, activists and artists respond to a questionnaire on
Barack Obama and visual mediation. Several of the article
(including ours) engage the interesting developments surrounding
Shepard Fairey's Obama posters.
