In this interrogation of the politics of representation, a common strategy artists used is to emphasize the objecthood of the image. Jana Sterbak's 1980 show Small Works is a perfect example as the two-dimensional image is literally transferred into a sculptural three-dimensional object. In his review of Sterbak's work, John Bentley Mays pointed out her use of minimalist material to investigate conceptual ideas. Thus, Small Works was also a statement on the state of Art at the time as works in the exhibition mixed minimalist material, conceptual rigour, and the return to representation.
