CANADIAN CONCEPTUALIST INTEGRATES TERRORISM INTO URBAN LIFE February 23, 2010: Canadian conceptualist Brian Rushton Phillips has made public a new project. Rushton Phillips’ work continues to endeavour to question and challenge perspectives and the comforts of western culture. Entitled ‘Terror Zone’, the work juxtaposes an institutional and familiar traffic sign with the imagery of the chaotic and unprecedented events of September 11, 2001. The work examines the degree to which catastrophic events alter the way we view society, and the avoidance of internalizing those changes. The result is a satiric comment on the introduction of terrorism to mainstream western culture and the consequential attempt to sanitize, rationalize and integrate that terror into everyday life.
