And now Opie, not suprisingly, once again has stolen someone else's ideas -- this time Brian Finke's football players. Does ANYONE have an original idea anymore???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-28628799161676762062008-04-21T18:15:00.000-04:002008-04-21T18:15:00.000-04:00So that you don't think either I or Mark Wyse are ...So that you don't think either I or Mark Wyse are dummies, the "Walker Evans" images are actually Sherrie Levines (or from a Sherrie Levine book.)!!!The Year in Pictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523797971986864363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-90417692898666637372008-04-21T16:33:00.000-04:002008-04-21T16:33:00.000-04:00Its different from Levin's simalcrals (sas) though...Its different from Levin's simalcrals (sas) though, I feel it's more of a statement on the mass production of art and in that sense runs more along the lines of the theories of John Berger and Walter Benjamin. I agree it is multi-layered conceptual act because beyond these overly analytic tones, there is the actual art of appropriating something and making it look authentic as well as perhaps some underlying themes that come from the specific pieces chosen. Like how Molly references Sherrie Levine, two of the pieces shown are the same photos Levine appropriates. I find it delightful to have something so superficially similar and yet have it be so different. His choice of images seems to emphasize that.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07800556080540464442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-63197361183932772082008-04-21T10:27:00.000-04:002008-04-21T10:27:00.000-04:00I saw this show and left fuming.We did this alread...I saw this show and left fuming.<BR/><BR/>We did this already with Sherrie Levine, Louise Lawler, Richard Prince. And for me, that was enough.<BR/><BR/>A good show is more than clipping and juxtaposing what we like. That's a home or studio activity. Ruth Ansel (whose home you recently posted about) isn't exhibiting her home inspirations. <BR/><BR/>Me, Me, Me.<BR/><BR/>That said, the above Cali photo looks great.Molly Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392208109844747190noreply@blogger.com
