dont listen to these people i am an art professor and I want to thank you for this video and its nice to hear someone talk about art the right way.you know what you are looking at.did you write that?If you did ill hire you to write something about my work

Guys it's only analysed because that's what English courses ask you to do, basically. They want you to show off how well you can analyse, not how accurate you can be.

Regardless, this is very well written/read/composed.

it's interesting to see different people's thoughts and interpretations of art. i am not going to bash this. you can tell the person is pretty sheltered an naieve. it seems as though she went fromm watching disney channel to nan goldin.

Not bad, I'd give this a B. There are some factual errors, but whoever said Nan was not in NYC is wrong. To the creator of this project: (a) you spelled "Biography" wrong, and (b) these men dressed as women are not "transvestites", they are are Drag Queens. A Drag Queen is a gay man that wears women's clothes, often for performance. A transvestite is a straight man in women's clothes, and most often has far less style than a Drag Queen. Other than that, this isn't that bad.

Nan, will you expose soon in Zurich ?

nice try.

but too bad about the factual errors. for example - kim is a french dancer/actress who lived and worked in paris, not in new york. it's a pity, because it's easy to find material about these works (listen to a few of goldin's interviews on youtube or even read some books about her work).

She was a posh bitch.

I like your interpretation, but I'm a little off-put by your use of adjectives such as "mannish". I think that Nan Goldin found a lot of beauty in androgyny in her early work, and I don't think that her subjects wanted to be women- her work exposes an aesthetic shift in a tumultuous time and I think she was trying to show the beauty of most of her subjects rather than critique their lifestyle. You have to remember that when most of these photos were taken, Goldin was high on heroin or coke.

Well-done, Dear. Carry on! :)

[chervenotichkovnik]

this presentataion is one of the stupidest I've listened to.

[jpash1116]

Anyone who has read about Goldin's work or went as far as to click to the right and listen to Goldin speak of her own work, they would understand how absolutely ridiculously inaccurate this interpretation is. Particularly your discussion of drag queens. Wow. Just so so far off.

Very insightful.....I enjoyed this, thank you.

...and don't listen to the assholes leaving stupid ignorant comments. PEOPLE JUST WANNA HATE, GIRL!
