About The Work
This work highlights Ruscha’s preoccupation with the symbols of American popular culture of the 1960s and 1970s, with the monosyllabic invitation to dance invoking light-hearted entertainment. An unlikely array of materials were used to create it, including coffee, egg white, mustard, chili sauce, ketchup, and cheddar cheese. These edible ingredients suggest the kind of foodstuffs that might be consumed in an American diner and are in particular the condiments that accompany typically American fast food such as hotdogs and hamburgers.
