Context:
Importantly, Wearing’s work operates in the realm of the vernacular and touches on the commonplace and, here, Wearing’s art seems to gather some of the broader-based communicative powers of advertising which lend themselves to the production of an art-engagé, an art which, for Newman, produces a new politics for the arts, not explicitly political but nevertheless bearing a ‘strong and sympathetic political impulse’.
From this vantage point, consumer advertising seems to qualify as a more socially grounded art, although it rarely carries the same sort of social and political messages of the art-engagé of the early twentieth-century avantgarde. This is left to charity advertising, social cause advertising and political advertising.
