Academic Art

I have been involved in a master class for photographic artists for some time now, but have decided to terminate my involvement. I must admit I find the conversations very interesting, and I really love the focused dialog between artists that really doesn’t happen in every day life. You need to seek out people working in the same medium, but that alone is not enough. They need to be mentally in the same state, and regular weekend retreats enable that. [.....]

But the academic art world, and especially the specialized world of fine art photography coming out of the art schools, tends to be extremely fixated on its own belly button.

Doble identidad // Double identity (by Caroline Briggs)

Doble identidad // Double identity (by Caroline Briggs) | Photography Now | Scoop.it

“Identical twins endure a particular struggle with identity. Their search for self is dominated by their twin status – an intense bond defined by conflict, companionship, love, competition, sharing, separation and, of course, a shared physical appearence. It means each twin has two identities – as an individual, and as a twin.
