When Marijke van Warmerdam was commissioned to make a badge for the IKON Gallery in Birmingham, she based her design on the spots from a cup and saucer she has used for a mobile with rotating photos called Take a break. She compares a working day to a holiday and so she made two badges representing both kinds of days. The printed light reflections on each badge suggest that the circular form is an air bubble.

Edward Ruscha seems to strip down traffic signs and in general gives order to the barrage of mass media-fed images that assault us on a daily basis. His early career as a graphic artist continues to strongly influence his aesthetic and thematic approaches, as may be shown here in City Space.

At the age of 18, Edward Ruscha intended to become a commercial painter but found himself drawn to fine art, over time being shaped by three influences: Marcel Duchamp, Pop art, and the movies. Meeting Duchamp when the Pasadena Art Museum hosted the French conceptual artist’s first U.S. show, Ruscha was especially affected by his use of readymade objects and imagery, rendered unfamiliar through unexpected titles or text. He says: ‘When I began painting, all my paintings were of words which were gutteral utterances like Smash, Boss, Eat. Those words were like flowers in a vase; I just happened to paint words like someone else paints flowers. It wasn’t until later that I was interested in combinations of words and making thoughts, sentences, and things like that.’
