Organ is part of a series by Warren Neidich depicting altered versions of the American flag. Here, the artist disrupts the familiar image by adding piano keys and an optical illusion of three-dimensionality to the stripes. Much like Jasper Johns did in his seminal 1955 painting Flag, Neidich changes the context, and perhaps the meaning, of an icon loaded with symbolism that is part of our collective visual conscious.Read Less

Warren Neidich is an interdisciplinary artist whose work transcends aesthetic theory and engages outside fields such as sociology, politics, and cognitive neuroscience. A writer, curator, and organizer, Neidich's work regularly employs participatory elements, such as his recent politically-charged installation, Book Exchange, in which gallery visitors were invited to take a book that had allegedly been censored in exchange for one of their own books, but only one with a red book jacket or cover.
While Neidich's work draws heavily from a variety of academic disciplines, it also reflects the artist's interest in public space and communications. He recently embarked on a year-long exploration of the parking lot as a canvas with artist Elena Bajo. He is also working on a project to subvert advertising tools by displaying neon signs of deadpan art slogans in well-trafficked outdoor plazas. Read Less
