William Pope.L: Trinket

On the occasion of William Pope.L: Trinket, the largest museum presentation of the Chicago-based artist's work to date, Pope.L opens up and talks about the themes of discord, duration, and democracy that are animated by Trinket (2008/2015), the show's title-work and centerpiece.
"I like that objects in our culture-maybe because we have so many of them-take on qualities that maybe they don't possess. And the flag has this similar animism about it. We bestow it this inner life. So I'm trying to take that seriously."-William Pope.L
