flag / marker

i went for a walk today and found this brilliantly red plastic in a vacant lot (my new favorite place to explore). i made this sculpture on a fence from a long-gone building or property, and left it there. Curating National (two works from the show follow my piece) has led me to further consider cultural markers of many sorts - in respect to the exhibition, it seems that flags are the most ubiquitous forms. so i've gather a few of my favorite pieces of artwork that involve flags (this is not an exhaustive list at all).

Adam Farcus - Marker (intervention and digital photograph) 2010

Allison Yasukawa - Eclipsing a Sun (ladder, light, thread, altered Japanese flag, daughter [absent]) 2010
