This work by the artist George Mill includes language that parodies the small print in advertisements and consumer warranties. The disclaimer reads: “Certain restrictions apply. Subject to change without notice. The right of freedom is made available ‘as is’ and without warranty of any kind.” This was part of a 2008 exhibit in which artists produced works on the theme “Thoughts on Freedom.” Many of the works suggested that the policies of the Bush administration had made Americans’ freedom more precarious.
What “restrictions” on freedom do you think the artist has in mind? What is the purpose of juxtaposing the large word “FREEDOM” with the small print?
