Description:
Imagine that the great Spanish masters -- Picasso, Miro, Dali, and Tapies -- used photography to play with and reform their own works. What would these photographs look like? A convincing fictional answer is provided by Joan Fontcuberta, who after parodying various scientific disciplines (botany, zoology, astronomy) has taken to reinventing the history of art itself -- by posing as the curator of such an exhibit, which was shown in the United States and Europe. Beyond the irony and humor of such a project, Fontcuberta explores such hot-button issues as the symbiotic relationship between art and photography, concepts of authenticity and authorship in an age of mechanical reproduction, and ever-changing notions about tradition and avantgardism in the art world.
