Orders From Corporate (Randall's Island?)
A provocative work by Nate Lowman that draws from the visual language of mass media and public imagery, repurposing found and appropriated content to question authorship, consumption, and the circulation of images in contemporary culture. The parenthetical uncertainty embedded in the title itself reflects Lowman's interest in ambiguity and the slippery nature of meaning. By recycling imagery that has already been processed and consumed by the public, Lowman challenges the boundaries between origin and reproduction, forcing viewers to reconsider their own relationship to the images that saturate their daily lives.

- “A lot of the images I use are already out there in the public or in the news. I just steal them or photograph them or repaint them, so they've already been talked about, already been consumed.” Nate Lowman
