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.

Post an image from the artist with full citation and link back to the site, AND explain what the concept is, and name whose (either yours or someone from the class) work's concept it is similar to.

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
