Well, here’s zinger of a review: “As a photographer, Nan Goldin has inspired a legion of imitators who tend to confuse certain lifestyle traits with artistic substance, a privileging of content over form with an excuse for taking sloppy photographs. I tend to think of them as the Vice generation, after the magazine that first published many a Goldin copyist under a hipster anti-ethos saturated with attention begging and unwarranted self-destruction.” This is Travis Jeppesen, reviewing some Nan Goldin show in Berlin. And more: “Her subjects, whether laughing or crying, often seem as though their minds are somewhere else, and their eyes are lost in pensive reverie (unlike the random soulless fashion victims hamming it up in, say, a Ryan McGinley).”

I don’t necessarily share Jeppesen’s excitement about Goldin’s work, but where he’s talking about the “Goldin copyists”, he’s spot on.

“It is maybe because photography has been misused such a lot that I think you have to be very careful when you’re looking at a photograph. You always have to know the conditions under which it has been made - because otherwise you cannot read it, or you could misunderstand it, or the image can be misused. Since photography is such a realistic medium, it pretends that everything you’re looking at was in front of the camera. But in the meantime it wasn’t. I think it was once said that “The illiterate of the future is not the person who cannot read, but the one who cannot read photographs properly.””

“The paradox and contradiction that is made apparent by these anecdotes defines much of the art of the last 50 years; art that has found itself by questioning authorship, authenticity and identity. It’s a questioning that ranges across many issues: the authority and meaning of the signature; the use of found source material as copy or theft; the adoption of a strategy of simulation within the conception of the work; a re-questioning in those terms of the status and usefulness of the Duchampian readymade that itself refers directly, through the act of nomination, to the role of the signature; the definition of the copy in terms of the relationship to a primary source that has been lifted to new use, the repetition of such an act, or even the representation of the act of repetition as a form of copy.”
