STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

NEWS: DECONSTRUCTING / RECONSTRUCTING

Visual Thinking (Fall 2020), Professor Cheryl Yun.
 

Looking at artists who use (and abuse) the daily newspaper in their art practices, students used the physical newspaper as a point of departure - cutting, folding, painting, omitting, marking, burning, ripping, etc. Thinking about the "news" and how we see and interpret it, students transform the physical papers to reflect their own voices and vision.

What We Are Reading & Watching

Eyes Open. Capes on.
If you move through time, you can stop at any moment in American history, and witness the same crimes, motivated by the same destructive forces, inflicted on the same victims. Only the names and faces are different. But in all of those moments, you will also find everyday people who rose to become heroes.

In 1860, the Wides Awakes were those people. In 2020, the Wides Awakes return to unite us in joyful resistance. And we're not letting history repeat itself.

This issue reflects on how we are experiencing the two main topics of our time - a global pandemic and social challenges - while looking at how this could be a fundamental chance to shift our questions on photography: stop asking 'what photography is' and start consciously talking about 'what photography can do' and 'what we want photography to do'.
