9 d. ago ‘A reflection of who she was’: major Diane Arbus exhibition hits New York

An expansive survey of the photographer’s work lands at the Park Avenue Armory, offering an unusually assembled look at her defining imagesConstellation, the enormous new show of photographer Diane Arbus’s life work, aims to present the artist as no one has seen her before. Embracing randomness, this exhibition of a full set of 454 master prints from Arbus’s only authorized printmaker, Neil Selkirk, tries its best to give audiences a completely unstructured presentation of the photos.“I wanted to make sure that it was as mixed up as possible,” the show’s curator, Matthieu Humery, told me. “I didn’t want to make any specific connections between images. I tried to keep out any kind of narratives so that visitors create their own narratives. There is this magic madness.” Continue reading...

3 w. ago The USSR occupied eastern Europe, calling it ‘liberation’ – Russia is repeating the crime in Ukraine | Sergei Lebedev

In the post-Soviet states, statues can be removed and street names changed. But achieving sovereignty of memory is far harderWe often hear that it is Russia’s inability or unwillingness to deal with the crimes of its past that has led to the restoration of tyranny and the military aggression that we see now. Such a narrative usually focuses only on internal Soviet deeds: forced collectivisation, the Great Terror of the 1930s, the Gulag system and so on. Some of these things were nominally recognised as crimes, but no attempt was made to hold the perpetrators to account. Russia’s perestroika democrats were generally opposed to transitional justice.However, the most politically sensitive Soviet crime is nearly always left out of the discussion. And Russia’s failure to address this particular crime is far more dangerous and affects the fate of many nations. Continue reading...
