Into the night
Antoine d'Agata me encanta por la crudeza de su fotografía, no puedo evitar pensar en las pinturas de Francis Bacon. Forma parte del colectivo Magnum a pesar de que su estilo se aleje completamente de la fotografía documental clásica a lo Cartier-Bresson.
La semana pasada estuvo en EFTI impartiendo un taller a los del documental, me hubiese encantado tenerlo como profesor.
Por cierto, el artista expone por primera vez en madrid.

Marina Abramovic
The performance artist Marina Abramovic titled her Museum of Modern Art show The Artist Is Present. Why? Because the artist is present. Among the many Abramovic pieces re-created for the exhibition, the one drawing most attention is a simple desk at which the artist has agreed to sit silently for the entire duration of the show, and invites spectators to take a seat for as long as they like (or can stand). The sharp-eyed ladies at Jezebel noticed that Abramovic’s table has hosted some famous visitors over the course of the show, which runs through May 31. (Each sitter is photographed for the museum’s Flickr page.) Sharon Stone, Rufus Wainwright, Lou Reed, Christiane Amanpour, Isabelle Huppert, and André Balazs all came to sit for a spell. We’d try to reach Abramovic for comment, but we’ve got a feeling her lips are sealed.

Why not
Cindy Sherman’s new photographs are to be installed as wallpaper at Metro Pictures rather than framed images. The backgrounds were shot by Cindy in Central Park and then digitally assembled in black and white grainy foliage repetitions.
