Kim Rugg: The Postage Stamp Series
View through Artsy
With surgical blades and a meticulous hand for nearly two decades KIM RUGG (b. 1963, Canada) dissected and reassembled newspapers, postage stamps, comic books, cereal boxes and postage stamps in order to render them conventionally illegible. In her early work, the front page of the LA Times becomes neatly alphabetized jargon, debunking the illusion of its producers' authority as much as the message itself.
