Question of the Week 3/6Appropriation, especially that contained within "wider popular culture" cannot be discussed without mentioning some of the first contemporary artists to do such like Warhol and Duchamp. While they are considered innovative today, back when they practiced they made the public question whether or not their work could still be considered art or not. I also consider a lot of shows on Adult Swim as appropriation, as they tend to use characters or even complete shows out of context. Like fenslerfilms.com showed us PSAs with Sealab 2021, the show is actually a spoof of the 70s original, but with an incompetent staff and hilarious situations. And Space Ghost Ghost: Coast to Coast also uses Hanna-Barbera's 60s creation in a completely new setting.

Warhol is a very good choice that i didn't even think would be considered as appropriation but i guess you're right!
