I went to Curtis Taylor's opening and all I got was this vid...
Several people were showing. The photographic work was immediately appealing in a glossy magazine implied narrative sort of way, but what struck me most about them was the dovetailing of commercialism with fine art. I've always been interested in that tension, or question, of what distinguishes one from the other besides context. But in the photos the tension was gone, the two worlds mingled seamlessly. Maybe that's why―in terms of consumption and delivery medium―I would have preferred them in a book or magazine. If I had to hang something on my wall, I'd go with Curtis' painting.
