John Gerrard's "Western Flag" is probably the most relevant work of art right now.

This is the burning flag shown during “Where the Streets Have No Name” at U2’s Las Vegas Sphere shows. Are these two pieces of art related?

Yes, it's by the same artist

More information on the artwork and the artist can be found here:

An all time favorite work. Its a simulated environment (think video game) not video :) John Gerrard in 2023: "It is set at the site of Spindletop, Texas, augmented by a flag of smoke that recalls the gas drilled there between 1901 and 1950. The gasoline extracted remains with us as invisible carbon dioxide in the air, referred to as the CO2 legacy of the 20th century." From 'Making Social Sculpture for the Present Moment' with @john__gerrard for Pace Gallery - June 23rd, 2023.

Woah 🤯

If you're interested in underground and experimental electronic music that could well be the soundtrack to these dystopian days of ours, please join my Telegram channel!

I like it, but Wire’s iconic Pink Flag album immediately comes to mind.

Relax, we are just taking down a regime of tyrants, like we did when Germany was too weak to take down theirs.

@opiumhum Including their now deceased leaders.

Thats AI slop for retards

Thanks for proving me right.

Stunning work - any further details on it?

Yes! It clearly shows the Left's attitude towards Trump, Conservatism, and our great country. They would rather nuke it all and rule over the ashes than agree with Trump on anything. Fuck them!

Thanks for proving my point. Lol!

i am 14 and this is deep unfortunately

Wow. Never seen this before. Thank you for sharing!

That flag looks like the smoke Pakistan, India, and China pollute their own skies with.

AI slop?

No

That is a really good piece of art.

Hard to disagree

Lol.... China & India put out more Co2 than any other country...

@mcshane_capital It’s all a Lie

This is dumb. Maybe I just don’t understand art though.

Whoa. This stopped my scroll.

@ItsBouquet I love this as a metaphor, and hate that it seems true.

@prometx What do you think an Eastern flag would look like?

i find it offensive. 10/10 on evoking emotion.

You're clearly not watching "Neighbors" on HBO...

Take a bow Mr. Gerrard.

Damn!

Looks gay as fuck

@Gerrrty That about sums it up.

I agree.

Fantastic art

It would if it was told "US Administration". "West" is irrelevant.

I think it's one of those "you had to be there" moments.
