Also just discovered an American conceptual artist named Joseph Kusoth i thought this might move our subject into the now as he recreated a giant version of the Rosetta stone which was placed at the birth place of Jean Francois Champollion this was made recently and i think would be a good reference to an artist inspired by the Rosetta Stone

Good work! There's another interesting conceptual artist called Mary Kelly - she created a work called post-partum document about the birth and early years of her son. Part of the work (to me, the most resonant part) is a series of pieces based on the Rosetta stone. She was on tonights Culture Show on BBC2 - check it out on iPlayer for a good introduction to this piece.
ReplyDeletePS it's Kosuth, bot Kusoth.
