Today, 7am
I just tried to post about how I never tire of looking at and writing about Francesca Woodman’s 1976 photograph ‘On Being an Angel’ but the algorithm police considered it nudity. There is an irony here. The rule would probably disqualify a fair amount of extraordinary works by Woodman being shared on social media. Woodman, who photographed her body, was not about nudity. I cannot quite articulate how nudity and the body are not the same but they are not. (Help me if you have any ideas). Do find ‘On Being an Angel’ – the version with the folded umbrella on the side – and look at it closely. In any case, I still want to let Woodman speak, articulate her truth eloquently as she does in her photographs so here is ‘Self-portrait talking to Vince’ (1977) which, as @eleanor8472 and I showed in our work on the hysteric’s voice, utters what cannot be said.
I have been thinking a lot about the compulsive repetitions in Martin Arnold’s work and how truth has an insistence and will be heard, eventually. His manipulation of time through rhythm allows us to see subtle things that were hidden before. Posted @withregram • @afracious Excerpt from Pièce Touchée (1989) #martinarnold
