Mostly, though, I like the image for the way it positions the (supposedly isolated, individualised) figure of the artist within this context of collective action and organised labour. From within the atomising effects of the last year, ‘Join a Union’ felt like the best thing I could say within the space of an A2 page.

In the early 1970s the Have a Nice Day smiley and maxim were everywhere across the United States. Everywhere. Stickers, buttons, badges, posters, t-shirts appeared everywhere... Almost overnight.

When researching the time he spent in London and reading his letters, I noticed how very diligent and logical he was. He was working as an art dealer, tirelessly studying how the art world works. When he started painting, he was a treasure trove of knowledge, and it was this that helped him develop his method and become an artist. the process is unrestrainable, logical and it makes sense - at least more sense than creating art purely out of passion. The focal point of my poster is the slogan 觉而不迷. Coming from the teachings of Buddhism, it says that ‘understanding frees our minds from obsession’ because we are awake and see things in their real light. I used my hands to cover the mountains, mimicking the landscape and showing that I am present in the moment - self aware and awake, without Obsession. I see Vincent van Gogh as someone being awake and without obsession.” - Ye Funa\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e420 x 594 mm (A2)\u003cbr\u003eDigital Print on 230gsm Matt Paper\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 45 (plus 5 APs)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFuna Ye (born 1986, in Kunming, China) works in varied media includes video, Photography, installation, performance and participation projects. Funa’s practice is mainly concerned with the relationship between the realities of everyday life, the perceived connection between authority and many areas of social life such as different power structures, ethnic groups, and the fictional space of propaganda for the concept of ‘perfection’ in an ideological system, and utopian landscape. Therefore, the work is politically charged, subtly engaged in pastiche as a satirizing style of propaganda. The work of Funa is rich in reference, parody and irony of the uniformity of cultures. Recently Funa became a social activist. She is organizing some internet based participatory, crowd - sourcing projects, such as Exhibitionist: Curated Nail and Peep Stream. She is using the internet to work with people, questioning how the art system may be incorporated into our private lives and social activities.

In a letter to his brother, Van Gogh misidentified the moth as a ‘death’s head’ (its distinctive skull shape made famous by Silence of the Lambs). The painting was later renamed when it was determined to have been a ‘great peacock’ moth. In light of that, we wanted to explore how classification can derail our perception. Aisha’s work recently has involved taking images and then cutting out and rearranging aspects of them before re-incorporating them into the image itself, half camouflaged. Somewhere in the poster a small forward slash lingers to one side of a rectangular piece of the image. This piece was selected then copied and pasted from the original image, before being dragged and dropped to cover over the words ‘death’s head’ and ‘great peacock’ which were typed either side of the slash. The computerised version of the photograph and the typed words are in some way immaterial but also there as notional traces of material things. There were several alternative drafts of the poster: different moths in different locations. The faces grafted onto the moth’s backs were created using GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks) software, which generates images out of text. Van Gogh’s work reminds us that the perception of a person can never meet the world outside of them. The way of working we found – mixing digital and photographic material instead of paint – felt like a way of explaining this quality in his work, and this complex relationship. It also chimed with our recent experiences, that of feeling embedded and sometimes lost in overfamiliar surroundings, unable to identify ourselves.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e  - Will Harris and Aisha Farr\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e420 x 594 mm (A2)\u003cbr\u003eDigital Print on 230gsm Matt Paper\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 45 (plus 5 APs)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eWill Harris\u003c\/em\u003e is a London-based poet and critic.

Depicted since medieval times as a lone Black figure in artistic imagery of the Nativity scene, this King is also one of the first encounters of British children with a Black person of importance. Historically, Balthazar is also a figure through which many of the white painters Old Masters and their patrons first constructed ‘blackness’, often representing a Black person to a European mass-audience for the first time. 'Let's go, honey' (2021), is a digital collage made up of different depictions of Balthazar, taken from historical paintings.
