Comments on: PRIVILEGE http://jeansnow.net/2009/09/19/privilege/ Your Guide to Design and Pop Culture in Tokyo Mon, 12 Jul 2010 03:14:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Will Andrews http://jeansnow.net/2009/09/19/privilege/comment-page-1/#comment-226957 Will Andrews Wed, 23 Sep 2009 00:13:31 +0000 http://jeansnow.net/2009/09/19/privilege/#comment-226957 Thanks for linking to TABlog again, Jean. Gary's technique and theory is quite complicated so I won't try to explain it here. I recommend checking out his website and looking at the pages on his "Privilege" project aims. http://www.garymcleod.co.uk/ Perhaps a key thing is to consider why the images are intended to be "honest" images of the subjects, and to consider the relationship between old portrait painters and their sitters. Also, if you go to the exhibition (last day today!) Gary will likely be around to answer questions, or you can read the literature and catalogue there. The exhibition is a full installation, an audio experience as much as a photographic/visual one. http://www.tokyoartbeat.com/event/2009/0299.en Thanks. Thanks for linking to TABlog again, Jean.
