JANINE BIUNNO
Towards a New Iconography, full set
2009
Screen Prints
30" x 160" (overall as set of 7)
Signage and graphic identities have permeated the contemporary urban landscape to the point where they can have the same cultural and iconographic significance as the architecture once created for precisely that purpose.

These symbols (logos, signs, architecture, infrastructure) have taken on equal weight within our visual lexicon of the city. This series of prints creates a dialogue between the monument and the banal, the icon and the eyesore- and blurs the lines between them by removing detail, shifting scale, and merging them with each other.
