Greetings from the Color Darkroom!
Well, I did it, I got up at 7 am, got into New York at 9:30, developed my film (properly!) and then printed in the color darkroom. They let me print for free with the other grad students, so I saved a good $30. I look like a full-timer, only a bit more confused. Looking at what other people were doing, I don't feel very far off.
Afterwards I didn't make it to Chelsea due to the questionable weather, but I did go back to the ICP museum to see the Atta Kim exhibit, On Air. I really didn't like it. The photos are beautiful, meaningful, technically dazzling, and theoretically based, but ultimately they see completely divorced from any kind of personal view. "Atta Kim" is completely elusive in these photographs; there's always a point to be made and nothing to hold you to them. Once you grasp that there are thirteen exposures of each person his in Last Supper photo to "make you question, "Who is Jesus? Who is Judas?"--that's it. The photos aren't one-liners, but at the same time, they don't hold you.
Anyway, I worked on my reflections project from image/text. The more I work with it, the more I feel I should continue it and take it further.
I like how in my prints, unlike the ones that I had made which weren't as clear, Seth emerges as secondardy/dual spectator.
