I am pleased to announce the publication of my recent article, "Radical Refamiliarization," co-authored
with John Armitage (University of Northumbria) for The Journal of
Visual Culture (Volume 8, number 2, August 2009). The issue is out
at last. It is a Special Issue in which a number of scholars,
educators, curators, activists and artists respond to a questionnaire
on Barack Obama and visual mediation. Several of the articles
(including ours) engage the interesting developments surrounding
Shepard Fairey's Obama posters.
