John Baldessari uses photomontage and painting, combined with language. His deadpan visual juxtapositions equate images with words and illuminate or challenge meaning. He shakes up held expectations of how images function, often by drawing the viewer’s attention to minor details, absences, or the spaces between things and human beings. Obscuring apparently clear scenes or adding stock photography with phrases by placing colourful dots e.g. over faces, he injects humour and dissonance into scattered imagery.

Jonathan Monk’s both ‘My Height in Blue Ballpoint Pen’ (2003) and ‘My Height in Yellow Highlighter Pen’ (2010) fused the portable character of a postcard with the practice of marking one’s changing height on a wall. The postcards should be installed on any wall with the pen line 178 cm above the floor.

Christian Marclay’s practice is often related to sounds, music and sound carriers. ‘Carpe Diem’ is a watch ticking in time and place, although different from a regular one. A clock face lacks, instead this artwork has a flat silver reflective face, with ball bearings within, creating a jangling and defunct tik-tok sound.

Between 1968-1969 Dorothy Iannone made a series of 27 A4 drawings depicting her life with Dieter Roth while living in Germany, France and Iceland. Dorothy described this period as “always immersed in the beloved.” She called this series of drawings Ta(Rot) (Dieter Roth was also known as Dieter Rot). When Dorothy had her exhibition at the New Museum in 2009, she collaborated with Jarrett Gregory and Daniel Thiem to re-imagine her Ta(Rot) series into a tarot pack edition. She compressed them into 3.75 x 5″ inches laminated cards.
