challenging the literal

Challenging the Literal
Georgie Landy

Dave hickey begins the chapter explaining the variations of semiotics. He says there are three kinds of metaphors, Orientational, Ontological, and structural. metaphors "disregards literal." I agree with him that we see metaphors a symbol because i believe they are. In terms of my art, i cant pin point a specific example, but i know i use symbols so i feel like one could argue i use metaphors as well. I also likes the ironic, literal and lie table because reading the postcard message three different ways was funny. I didnt enjoy this article as much as i think i would have if it was shorter. I agree with most of his arguments, but im not a real fan  of over-analyzing.

questions:

How would hickey talk about my artwork?
What kind of artwork i hi favorite
Is he still so criticall
