Appropriation - Death of the author

 Appropriation - Death of the author

Create a work that uses appropriation and discusses concept of the 'Death of the Author'.
Appropriatioon is a method that takes an existing work and recontextualises it as a 'new' work-often for ironic, comical or critical effect.


traceing aspects of the shift in emphasis from the originality and genius of the artist (author) that defined so much of Modernism to the rise of the reader (audience) as active and equal partners, not just in the interpretation of art, but in its very realization, its making. The idea that the meaning of a text (written or visual for our purposes) resides not in its origins, not in the intentions of its maker, but in its reception and its interpretation by the reader (viewer)(Roland Barthes).
