Cindy Sherman: Characters | Art21 "Exclusive"
Loading...
Uploaded by art21org on Apr 1, 2011
Episode #139: Cindy Sherman reveals how dressing up in character began as a kind of performance and evolved into her earliest photographic series such as "Bus Riders" (1976), "Untitled Film Stills" (1977-1980), and the untitled rear screen projections (1980).
In self-reflexive photographs and films, Cindy Sherman invents myriad guises, metamorphosing from Hollywood starlet to clown to society matron. Often with the simplest of means—a camera, a wig, makeup, an outfit—Sherman fashions ambiguous but memorable characters that suggest complex lives lived out of frame. Shermans investigations have a compelling relationship to public images, from kitsch (film stills and centerfolds) to art history (Old Masters and Surrealism) to green-screen technology and the latest advances in digital photography.

It would be nice if artists would submit to more in depth interviews. maybe they are afraid their work won't stand up to intelligent scrutiny?.

Ok, we know that you know that Cindy Sherman is one of the most famous artists in her media. But if Art21 channel wants more views, artists have to think about subjects that could caught the attention of more kind of people.
This comment could sound kitsch but if you want more audience, you need to change the perspective to something more popular.
