Hans Haacke's Voici Alcan

. . . in Voici Alcan (1983), Haacke combined the slick logo of Alcan, a company which provided aluminum products to the South African police and military, with posters of operas Alcan sponsored as well as images of the dead South African activist Stephen Biko. Haacke’s work is blunt and ironical, and refuses anything like aesthetic pleasure.
