Inspired by a True Story: the double meaning of the phrase “Big Deal” struck me while driving past a local mattress store, where of late the signage in the windows had seemed increasingly desperate, even tragic. It seemed that the store had turned into its own worst critic, making its own advertisements into trollish, self-loathing comments. These straightforward posters are installed in an over-enthusiastic grid, with one crumpled, sad example allowed to point out the futility of the pleading text.
