We were actually lucky enough to catch Robert and Shana at the opening and after telling them about our class they informed us that we may send them questions through email, so as you are doing this short project please think of 2 questions you would like to ask them and we'll send them an email with all our questions together during the next class.
Below is an image from each of the shows which I thought were interesting next to each other, but make sure you go to the websites and look again at all their work.
Please write a short (no more than a page) response to the two shows. It does not have to be formal, you may write as if you were speaking to me or telling a friend about the shows but please keep it about the meaning and aesthetic of the work and refrain from just saying things like "the shows were both great, the work was beautiful"
Things to think about (you don't have to mention these in your responses)
The relationship between the artists and their subjects.
How art comes into play with the real world, what do you think both Sanguinetti and the Parke Harrisons are trying to say about reality with their placement of a fiction narrative.
Press releases for ParkeHarrisons' "counterpoint" and Sanguinetti's "the life that came"
“It’s disheartening what you find yourself just taking good pictures- pictures that don’t have heart. Great pictures surprise me, they have depth and mystery.” Alessandra Sanguinetti - Found this quote in a pretty interesting blog entry about Sanguinetti
