Great interview between Anton Vidokle and Martha Rosler in Art in America

My favorite quote from Rosler:

"Art can serve as a condenser of complex matters into symbolic narratives, and a catalytic node for discussion and organizing. It allows for the further germination of ideas though themes that remained unmined or require a more contemporary view. "

Interesting.... so these images were appropriated from Madani's photo archive, but Kaatari remains the 'author' of the piece.
