Cindy SHERMAN :: slideshow . [MoMA retrospective opens 26 Feb 2012] - http://nymag.com/fashion...
"The rarest of the rare: Sherman as Sherman in limbo. The artist pulling back the curtains, allowing a glimpse of her in transit to the further shores of self. Hair in Baggie, no makeup. Blank slate; bare stare; ulterior motives; a snake-in-the-grass assassin. \\ Sherman’s pictures are like Zen ­koans. Rather than being about understanding, they’re about coming to grips with the state of mind that produces them. She has a luminous way of breathing life into things that cannot be ­described. Giving herself over to her own processes, Sherman opens up thought and makes pictures that subtly withdraw from definition, dislodging meaning, undermining ideology, becoming what I’d call radically passive." http://nymag.com/fashion... - Adriano
