It's making you irritable. <br /><br />The blogger was very respectful, imho, of Wessel's work and intent but was making a different point. He is correct that it is rare to see a truly well-sequenced show that is not an obvious "series" and was celebrating that fact. What's wrong w/ that? <br /><br />Black Dognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057826380522065501.post-5121536929738845992013-05-12T22:09:16.562-04:002013-05-12T22:09:16.562-04:00Well, you missed the mark on this review, and seem...Well, you missed the mark on this review, and seems like you spent time talking to someone at the gallery about the work instead of really looking. <br /><br />Every image in this show is well executed, and can stand on its own as a great photograph.<br /><br />What makes the work exceptional is the fact the Wessel is one of the greatest editors of his generation.<br /><br />If you know anything of Wessel's work then there is a clear shift here from light hearted humorous works to something much darker.<br /><br />What you see as "car pictures" is a sequence starting with a guy with a cigarette in one hand and coffee in the other, making driving impossible. Then a family of five looking out the car window at what must be horrific based on there expressions. This followed by the viewer looking through the car window at a child violently choking another kid. These connections are just the tip of the iceberg of what is happening in this show. These dark themes, great photographs, and sequencing makes this a 3 star show.<br /><br />Stop spending so much time trying to write water downed reviews, and start really looking at the medium you suggest you actually like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
