James Rosenquist: Reimagining the Billboard

Jackson's one of several artists in America today who seem to exude anxiety through their work. They challenge their countries old assumptions about the inevitability of progress, the idea that all frontiers must lead to a promised land. In one sense, they're part of a tradition. For centuries American artists have played a vital part in shaping the American sense of nation. They've given visual form to America's dreams and ideals. They've questioned its ideologies. And above all they've tried to define just what it is that makes this civilization unique, unlike any to have preceded it.

Through it all I think there's been this sense that, because America was a nation unburdened by history, it was the home of the new. This was where the future was made. But I think that's all changed. I think many Americans fear that they're no longer in charge of their destiny, that their destiny is being shaped elsewhere. And that's why so much recent American art seems so hesitant, so uncertain. It's an art of questions, not of answers. And at the center of it lies one particular question. What does the future hold?
