the winter issue of frieze gave me loads of inspiration. besides the great article on luigi ghirri's work the issue also introduced me to barbara kasten. i find architectural sites captivating.

i'm currently working with pantyhose as a prop within images. i've been looking at other work utilizing the material to see what's been done before and how i might add to the conversation. senga nengudi's R.S.V.P. I (above) was mentioned to me by a classmate. the blog racing thoughts had a picture of the installation and a quote from moma.org by nengudi about the work:
"I am working with nylon mesh because it relates to the elasticity of the human body,” Nengudi has explained. “From tender, tight beginnings to sagging… The body can only stand so much push and pull until it gives way, never to resume its original shape."
francesca woodman's retrospective opens in march at the guggenheim here in nyc. the show began its tour at the sf moma in november. i'm eagerly awaiting the opening.
to tide me and you over, friend, photographer, artist, elli chung has created a beautiful little homage to woodman. she's posted her images over at her blog, paris and other places.
