Elke Krystufek: The Rich Visit the Poor the Poor Visit the Rich

Emerging artists in Europe are casting a discerning eye onto the increasing economic disparity created by Western mega-powers between the haves and the have-nots. Krystufek creates a complex and charged dialogue through a riot of color collages composed of appropriated images taken from slick color advertisements, news photos and carefully selected text. This work has strong historical roots to the Dada and Assemblage movements of the 20th century.
