Susan Sontag excerpt from On Photography
1. "Although there is a sense in which the camera does indeed capture reality, not just interpret it photographs are as much an interpretation of the world as paintings and drawings are."
2. "Photographs furnish evidence. Something we hear about, but doubt, seems proven when we're shown a photograph of it."
Revisiting Carrie Mae Weems’s Landmark “Kitchen Table Series” by Jacqui Palumbo for Artsy
1. "Weems’s black-and-white photographs are like mirrors, each reflecting a collective experience… how life emanates from the small space we occupy in the world."
2. "Through individual scenes… a story of the lovers told in vivid vignettes, from their meeting in the “glistening, twinkling crystal light of August/September sky,” through all the tests and balancing acts and storms of their relationship, until the woman finds solace in solitude."
The Cindy Sherman Effect by Phoebe Hoban for ArtNews
1. "We live in the era of YouTube fame and reality-TV shows and makeovers, where you can be anything you want to be any minute of the day, and artists are responding to that."
2. "Her kaleidoscopic investigation of the essence of her own—and, by extension, society’s—identity complex has relied on ingenuity, not gigabytes."
