Comment from Stan Banos …
Written by duckrabbitBecause someone has to state the bleeding obvious to all these photographers who want to save the world by taking wonky black and white photos and getting them up in galleries …
If you’re devoted to making it in the art world, you’re not exactly dedicated to making social change…
Which reminds me of something I read on John Levy’s (Foto8’s) excellent highs and lows of the last year (much better than all these really annoying top ten lists). Lows:
Edward Burtynsky for suggesting we pay him $25,000 for a HOST gallery talk on Oil. Well if we make a packed house then I’m sure everyone will wish to contribute $340 towards that! (not)
More outspokenness for 2010 please John.
