Propaganda for Quasi-Liberal White Folks In Alexandra Grant’s Antigone
series every one of the pieces announces the ‘I was born to love, not to
hate’ theme multiple times on each canvas. The slogan becomes almost
propagandistic in its repetition, inviting the viewer to take and agree
with the subject position. Such strong, ultimate words, ‘love’ and
‘hate’ yet words that when put side by side in an ‘I was born to...’
statement privilege one word over the other. Who wouldn’t want to choose
love over hate, we ask. But, what would we be signing up for in doing
this, I wonder? What or whose version of love is she selling us? If her
canvases were rendered into realism, my imagination immediately sees the
figure of Alexandra Grant dressed in her Antigone dress that she wore
to the MOMA gala. She’s standing on a hill looking very heroic and
pointing towards the future and carrying a flag with her iconic caged
love logo on it. She has her delicate foot resting on the dead body of
‘hate’ who she has just slain with a restraining order to keep her
terrible secret from being exposed. Behind her, her minions are bravely
struggling up the hill and one of them is Keanu Reeves with a flag that
reads ‘Love? I guess so...whatever that means...Yah, sure, why not?’ Be
careful what you sign up for.
