J. Sybylla Smith, In Conversation with David Campany

Sandwiched between endpapers featuring the 1938 Photogram, Stars, by artist Alexander Rodchenko, 120 photographs by known and anonymous artists reflect how one can think about images - underscoring their uncontainable hybrid nature. His compelling text ignites curiosity, excavates and illuminates intention and process, inviting the reader/viewer to ponder what and how they see. In this book group, David Campany discusses, among other things:The paradox of the malleability of an image and it’s fixed singularityThe boundary-defying work of women artists who have been largely ignored by traditional canons of art historyThe symbiotic relationship of text and imageScale and materialityThe experimental spirit of the BauhausThe meaning between photos The muteness of imagesPhotoshop as a beauty parlorReferences/Resources from this episode:Traveling exhibition: https://davidcampany.com/a-handful-of-dust/Visual IN Dialog https://davidcampany.com/da-dialogue/www.instagram.com/dialogue_aandd/,Roland Barthes essay Leaving the Movie Theater, Victor Burgin essay, Seeing SenseDavid Campany Website | InstagramEngage with J.
