Image Making - Shelley Rice
- Essays on Visual Culture (1978-2018)
Long before social media created a surfeit of globally interconnected images, the art world opened its previously narrow confines to include the true diversity of image production. Image Making chronicles Shelley Rice's skillful navigation of two pivotal moments in this transformation: the pluralism of New York in the 1970s and the global outreach of digital networks in the 2010s. As one of our era's most incisive and inspired photography and multimedia critics, Rice's insightful reviews and articles chronicle this seismic shift, offering a deeply resonant exploration of art's intersection with society. Her critical engagement with renowned artists and curators such as Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Ana Mendieta, Francesca Woodman, Lorraine O'Grady, Duane Michals, Gerhard Richter, Okwui Enwezor, Walid Raad, and Cindy Sherman sets a standard for understanding contemporary art and the vital role a seminal critic plays in shaping our visual culture. Image Making is indispensable reading for anyone interested in contemporary art, the role of criticism, and the deep interdependence of images and social, cultural, and political forces.
