Abstract
The Vietnam war created an arduous battleground rife with anti-war protest in the streets of the United States. The public was outraged after viewing brutal combat footage available through mass televised media. American artists Martha Rosler, Edward Kienholz and Kim Jones produced work confronted different spaces with war, trauma and criticism such as the home, the streets, and the gallery. This paper examines works they forged regarding the Vietnam war, the tumultuous social divide of the 1960s, and television as a catalyst for identifying and disassociating with the people being displaced and killed overseas.
