Chapter 7 question:

Read Chapter 7 in your textbook.

Fully cite (who said it and what page, et. al.) three historic arguments against Digital Photography.

For each argument state whether, in your opinion, the argument is still valid, holds water, or is of concern to you or NOT.

Then select any three artists from any of the following links in which the concept of their work relates to any of the concepts in your final project. You are encouraged to use work from collections, as well as from past, present and future exhibitions. Post one image from each artist, state what the concept is, and link back to the original site.

Finally, post any three current images of your own and state what concepts you see in each image.

Go to: http://www.whitecube.com/artists/

View ALL of the artists on this list. You should know about all of these artists.
Then find the artist whose work most closely engages the concepts in you own work. Post an image by that artist and explain what the concept is and how that concept can also be found in your own work. If none of the artist's concepts relate to your concept, please send me an email, explain what your concept is and I will find other artists from which you can choose.

Locate any writing about that concept in your textbook. Copy an appropriate quote from your textbook and cite it.

Then post any three recent images of your own and explain why you selected each of the three images.

Chapter 5

Spectacles and Illusions

Photography and commodity culture

Anandi Ramamurthy

Chapter Five: review and application of chapter five theories to contemporary art and your own work:

Read Society of the Spectacle:
http://library.nothingness.org/articles/SI/en/pub_contents/4

(There are 10 chapters. Please, read as much as you can. Remember, the more you read, the more you learn)

Then find an artist from the following links and relate anything whatsoever from the Society of the Spectacle to the artist's work. Post at least one image from the artist with full citation and link back to the site where you located the image. Write as much as you can explaining how the artist's work relates to the Society of the Spectacle. Use specific quotes from Guy DeBord to support your position.
Then state if you think that the artist's work contains a critique of commodity culture or if you think the artist's work supports commodity culture - or both - and explain why

HERE IS MY EXAMPLE:

ONE:

Alison Knowles. The Identical Lunch. 1973. © Alison Knowles

http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/1126

from San Francisco MOMA

Performance 10: Alison Knowles

January 13–February 4, 2011

I selected this image because it first made me hungry but then it made me lose my appetite.

TWO:

Agathe Snow, Walls, 2010. Mixed-media collage, 64 x 49 cm. © Agathe Snow

Guggenheim Berlin

AGATHE SNOW: ALL ACCESS WORLD

January 28–March 30, 2011

http://www.guggenheim.org/berlin/exhibitions/3890

I selected this image because it is colorful.

THREE:

Image: William Eggleston, Algiers, Louisiana, c. 1972, from William Eggleston's Guide, 1976. Dye-transfer print; 16 13/16 x 11 in. (42.5 x 27.9 cm). The J. Paul Getty Museum, Villa Collection, Malibu, California. © Eggleston Artistic Trust, courtesy Cheim & Read, New York.

William Eggleston: Democratic Camera—Photographs and Video, 1961–2008
Broad Contemporary Art Museum, Level 2 at LACMA
October 31, 2010–January 16, 2011

http://www.lacma.org/art/ExhibEggleston.aspx

I chose this image because I like seeing Eggleston's shadow in the mud puddle. It makes me laugh.

Now three of my recent photos and why I selected each one:

December 2010, Brad and Rick, at Kris and Ted's, Silver Plume

I picked this photo because of their hand gestures, and they are son and father.

December 2010, Georgetown, at Normando and Lauren's

I picked this photo because they are daughter and father

December 2010, Silver Plume Large Town Hall

I picked this photo because the child looks worried

http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/exposure/

Men's shoes with camera hidden in heel
© National Museum of American History Photographic History, gift of The New York News

from the exhibition:

Exposed

Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera

Tate Modern 28 May – 3 October 2010

in London

I chose this image because it is beautiful. I like that the shoes are well worn. I like the way the shoelace falls. And I like the reflection in the black surface and the shine on the shoes.

http://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2010/originalcopy/intro05.html

Alfred Stieglitz (American, 1864–1946). Fountain (photograph of assisted readymade by Marcel Duchamp). 1917. Gelatin silver print, 9 1/4 x 7"

From the Museum of Modern Art NY exhibition: The Original Copy 1839 to today.

I selected this image because: Duchamp Rules! (despite what my mother says) and I like imagining the actual making of this image and thinking of Stieglitz and Duchamp having a conversation about this sculpture and this photograph.

http://web.guggenheim.org/exhibitions/exhibition_pages/haunted/#/appropriation

Bernd and Hilla Becher, Water Towers, 1980. Nine gelatine silver prints.

from the Guggenheim Museum NY exhibition:

Why did I choose this image? I chose this image because it reminds me of a personal experience from my youth that I don't want to post to this blog.

NOW, three images that I made recently:

Ms. Moneypenny and Natasha, Saturday August 21, 2010

I selected this image because it seems like a personal moment shared between two people (but I don't know them).

I picked this image because my friend Lauren set it up and asked me to take the photograph, so when I look at it I think of Lauren.

This is a photograph / snapshot of Lauren. August 21, 2010. I picked this image because it shows her having fun.
