Catalogue Note
"I think appropriation points to or suggests some sort of original - a locatable source that one appropriates and in many ways eclipses. With the Black Star Press pieces (the chocolate riots) I attempt to sidestep a familiar art source, Warhol, as a starting point. Looking back at artists dealing with appropriation in the '80s, it seems the strategy of replicating in itself became the style or brand of the artist using it. In my works, I don't escape the effects of branding but think of the processes associated with appropriation as a way of dealing with branding as a social space." - Kelley Walker
