Tony Cokes is a African-American post-conceptualist artist, who specializes in mono-chromatic text slides. This installation is apart of the 58th Carnegie international held until April 2nd and also includes another work of his titled Free Britney?(about Britney Spears) This work in particular are text fragments of speeches, writings,and lyrics collected from a range of sources. Much like his other work containing billboards, he is interested in “how the context of advertising billboards could catch people’s attention and make them feel uneasy when the message they were given wasn’t clear”.

I am currently trying to research more about this piece. If you have any text or remember any of the sayings please post them.
