THINK AGAIN

THINK AGAIN is an artist-activist collaborative founded in 1997 by S.A. Bachman and David John Attyah.  THINK AGAIN expects something political from art and uses images to challenge indifference.

THINK AGAIN produces public art interventions that recruit artmaking in the service of public address.  They create billboard and public projection campaigns throughout the United States and have distributed tens of thousands of posters, books and postcards worldwide.  Many of their projects privilege face-to-face interactions on the streets of Los Angeles, Boston and San Francisco.

THINK AGAIN views cultural work as indispensable to affecting social change and engaging people in the political process.  Their projects have explored a unique range of issues including international labor and the treatment of immigrants, gentrification and displacement, sexual expression, linkages between race activism and queer activism, the logic of militarization, the ways capitalism and misogyny conspire to jeopardize women, economic injustice and “free” trade policies, and the representation of queers in the media.

THINK AGAIN exhibitions include: “Antagonisms,” Museu d´Art Contemporani de Barcelona; “The Anti-War Show: US Interventions From Korea to Iraq,” Track 16 Gallery; “Reactions,” Exit Art; “The Culture of Class: Issues of Class in North American Culture,” Maryland Institute College of Art; “Not for Profit,” Loyola Marymount University Art Museum;  “Democracy in America,” Arizona State University Art Museum; “A Brief History of Outrage,” 16:1 Gallery and “New Season,” Museum of New Art.

THINK AGAIN has received awards from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, LEF Foundation, Tanne Foundation and The Funding Exchange/Outfund.  Their work has been widely published in magazines and journals including Artforum, Ms. Magazine, Social Text and The Progressive. THINK AGAIN's work appears in Graphic Agitation 2, Economic Apartheid In America, Peace Signs: The Anti-War Movement Illustrated and a monograph of their work entitled A Brief History of Outrage was published in 2003.
