Additional Details: Not Even So is an original exhibition poster created by John Baldessari for his 1989 exhibition at Ivam Centre Julio González. The poster features a striking split image—on one side, pelicans in flight, and on the other, a woman deep in thought with her finger on her chin. This juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated images is a hallmark of Baldessari's conceptual art style, where he often explores themes of perception, interpretation, and the relationship between text and image. The split imagery in Not Even So invites viewers to draw connections between the natural world and human introspection. The pelicans, symbols of freedom and flight, contrast with the woman's contemplative pose, perhaps suggesting a tension between instinct and thought or nature and human emotion. Baldessari often challenged traditional narratives in art, using disjointed images to provoke reflection on how we assign meaning.
