“…in truth, my work is really part of my everyday life, it’s all in the same package.” Zoe Strauss

Tomorrow night, Philadelphia-based artist, Zoe Strauss’s show, “10 Years, A Slideshow” opens at the Bruce Silverstein Gallery here in New York. The show, recently on view as mid-career retrospective at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, was a great success. Indeed, in the past decade, Zoe Strauss has become one of Philly’s most well-known artists. When one considers that she’s an avowed anarchist and lesbian, it is significant that the “City of Brotherly Love” has chosen to embrace her and her work.

Strauss is a photographer of the people. An artist concerned with “the beauty and struggle of everyday life,” her photographs are successful because there is no separation/disconnect between her and the subjects she photographs. There is no judgement, no arrogance, and no other agenda but to reveal truth and beauty. Given her political leanings and her hard work making art accessible for everyone (see her I-95 Project), I don’t doubt her commitment.

Other accomplished photographers like Milton Rogovin and Richard Billingham have documented folks at the margins of society with equally compelling portraits. I ask: What separates these photographers from others documenting society’s marginalized people? One word: Love. —Lane Nevares

Fri, 29 Jun 2012 06:58:03 +0800

“A true war story is never moral. It does not instruct, nor encourage virtue, nor suggest models of proper human behavior, nor restrain men from doing the things men have always done. If a story seems moral, do not believe it. If at the end of a war story you feel uplifted, or if you feel that some small bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the larger waste, then you have been made the victim of a very old and terrible lie. There is no rectitude whatsoever. There is no virtue. As a first rule of thumb, therefore, you can tell a true war story by its absolute and uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil.”

- Tim O’Brien (The Things They Carried)

By Fabian Oefner, this smashing set of photographs; Millefiori, of a viscous ferrofluid and coloured paints that form uncontrollable magnetic blobs, I think it must be near impossible to create such vibrant images any other way, they’re beautiful. There’s a curious little short film of how they are each created on his website.
