Fred Rinne (born 1955) is an American visual and performance artist. His cross disciplinary approach, outsider aesthetic and overriding cultural critique defines his work. "As an American I feel that I have grown up bathed in pop schlock against my will. It was always the background noise of my culture... Instead of a real culture where songs actually mean something, we have this junk culture of entertainment working on the principle of planned obsolescence. We don't have to eat the same hamburgers, listen to the same music, or see the same images. I struggle for a world where every man can be his own Manilow."
