Dear stupids,
EJ, like Peter Saville are masters of appropriation, for the most part they are able to manipulate the cliché into something new. The old "it's not what you take, it's where you take it." The point here is that these people expand, re-interpret, reflexively bend-back upon an idea which has already been articulated.
Lissitzky to JMB is an influence even further from the point of discussion. In this case it's about aesthetic ideas transmuting through time, space and context.
The point being addressed here is a body of work which is flagrantly derivative. A young person who is taking clichés and simply re-enforcing their ineffectiveness. It's the propagation of this fucked-up approach which will be the magnificent ruin of YOU all.
