[VISUAL ARTS]  Brooklyn-based artist Vandana Jain’s work is topical and political: Allow the national flags and corporate logos she frequently incorporates into her pieces to be your guide; and if you don’t detect a position there, enjoy the more explicit messages expressed in pieces like Rejected Hand-Me-Down: Jenny Holzer x Ralph Lauren Polo, a striped polo shirt bearing the words “ALL SURPLUS IS IMMORAL.” The internationally exhibited artist visited Hallwalls last spring in order to conceive a site-specific installation. The show, called Artisanal Capitalism, opens with a reception this Friday, March 9, with an artist’s talk at 8pm.
