Salcedo on Art:21
July 20th, 2009Art:21’s blog has been running a fantastic series over the past few months called “Flash Points”. They present topics related to contemporary art and ask a variety of guests to write about it from their perspectives. In my opinion, it’s one of the most interesting and well-presented contemporary art discussions happening online. Currently, the series is focusing on themes within their upcoming 5th season, the first of which is “Compassion“.
I wrote a post on one of their featured artists, Doris Salcedo, whose work Atrabiliarios is one of the few owned by the Pulitzer. To me, Salcedo goes beyond compassion to fully envelop herself in the reality of her subjects. Check out the full post here.
