Saturday, July 19, 2003 Ann Arbor et la Photographie The annual Art Fair has invaded Ann Arbor for the last few days, and among the plethora of pottery, photography, wood, sculpture, mixed media, painting, crafts, clothes, food, and non-profit orgs, you'll find a few gems of incredible work and a large amount of work that looks exactly the same. For some reason, the majority of artists at the fair are fond of bland landscapes or colors sans people. Not that I have anything against sunsets--I love them, in fact--but the sheer magnitude of look-alike art that seems more decoration than communication is astounding. And it's difficult to be impressed by art that you figure you could make yourself without much effort (I feel a rant on the state of modern art coming on, so I'll stop here).
In related/unrelated note, take a look at 200 Photographs, courtesy of Patrick Jones, who took them all with my digital camera in the period of one day. Most of them turned out well. And yes, that picture on the top is me (on a rare day--I never have my hair up). ^ Top | 5:59 PM | | |
