I would like to talk about the artwork "your battle is a battleground" realised by Alex Dupont. I chose it because I appreciate the way she uses her art, to communicate ideas and to democratise it. 
Firstly, who is Alex Dupont ? She is an American artist who uses the publicities codes to share messages about what is important to her, and what deserve to be put into light : inequalities between men and women for exemple, or social issues in the society, or surconsommation. She tries to attract the eyes of the viewer by using red colour, that catches easily the attention. She works with the base of photographies, that she finds in magazine or publicities. 
One of her more important and famous artworks is "Your body is a battleground". We can see the portrait of a woman, separated into 2 parts, the first in black and white, and the second in white and black, so in negative. In the middle, there is red bands with a white message at the center "Your body is a battleground". I don't remember exactly the date, but I think it was in 1989, when people were fighting for or against the abortion. Originally, "your body is a battleground" was a poster she put in the streets of an American city (which one ?). This poster gave the date of a manifestation against an other manifestation (?) who was against abortion. Alex Dupont used her art to create an event, and through that, fight for her ideas and values. 
She understood her art can be a weapon, and be used through a smart way. She can talk and share her point of view thanks yo that. She is the tongue, and people are the eyes. She give us the information, ask us about topics. The sentence Your body is a battleground is clear : the women's bodies were always and are still a topic of debate. As if it was a question, to let a person, a human, a woman, to be entirety free about her body. As if it was logical to let men decide for women and their body, while they are not concerned.
Abortion should not be a question : having children is a big engagement on a long time, is it  better to have a child but not being ready (mentally, physically, financially....) and not being able to love him, or have an abortion ? this is the question, or one of the question, Alex Dupont asks through her artwork. 
Use the street as an exhibit space is a way to keep accessible art, and expression, to mire people.
