Tangled Chains and Empty Shopping Bags

Richard Block, Assistant Professor in the Department of Germanics at the University of Washington, discusses Make Your Own Life: Artists In & Out of Cologne. His talk focuses on the ideas of constructed identity and false promise, in relation to German history. Three pieces from the exhibition are examined in terms of these themes: Josephine Pryde's Chains, Lucy McKenzie's Kulaks, and Merlin Carpenter's Make Your Own Life.
