Carrie Mae Weems and the politics of photography

Art and Design post by Kjerstin Johnson, September 23, 2009 - 9:17pm; tagged Carrie Mae West, female artists, female photographers, objectification, photography, representation, subjectivity, women of color.

"My responsibility as an artist is to work, to sing for my supper, to make art, beautiful and powerful, that adds and reveals; to beautify the mess of a messy world, to heal the sick and feed the helpless; to shout bravely from the rooftops and storm barricaded doors and voice the specificity of our historical moment."

Internet buzz about Michael Bay's (director of landmark crap-tion films like Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, The Island) latest film Transformers 2 has mostly centered around who has the most scathing review, how hot Megan Fox is, and a few murmurs concerning coded racism in two of the robots.

This movie made me wanna barf and yawn at the same time. The following feminist critique of Transformers does contain spoilers, but frankly, there’s nothing I could further ruin about this movie that it doesn’t already do itself....
