The Last Picture Show: Artists Using Photography, 1960-1982 - Walker Art Center exhibition - Brief Article
ArtForum, Sept, 2003 by Meghan Dailey
WALKER ART CENTER
Is this promising show (forty artists, 100 works, an extensive catalogue, and a great title) Walker curator Douglas Fogle's follow-up to his "Painting at the Edge of the World"? That exhibition explored the way artists used paint not in the manner of traditional painters but to see what it could do. Likewise, the exploitation of photography's potential as a tool in the '60s and '70s pushed the medium in the direction of Conceptualism; pure aesthetics gave way to the Bechers, Baldessari, and the Pictures artists, not to mention explorations of identity, performativity, and the postindustrial landscape. The Walker's "genealogy" will explore these roots while looking at the work of younger photographers as well. Oct. 11-Jan. 4; UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, Feb. 8, 2004-May 11, 2004.
