Gavin Turk
It could be seen through the art work of Gavin Turk that he masks contemporary culture in a restaging of a contemporary masterpiece, The Death of Marat by Jacques Louis David. But then whilst this may encompass some of the theories of the Situationists it lacks in leaving his personality behind which was the Fluxus aim or rather embodiment of the values, which the movement stood for. I appear to be focusing on the aspect of the 'spectacle' rather than the other aspects of situationism such as 'detournement'!
