几天前我blogged(写了篇博客),有关伦敦新的当代艺术博览会Art 13(艺术13),有着许多(好的)惊喜,并给收藏家和普通观者带来一些新面孔。为确保“不”说明我的观点,我将快速浏览艺博会上的摄影作品,从最为著名的YBAs的系列开始。 Mat Collishaw的 Last Meals on Death Row(死囚的最后一餐)运用静物重构了美国监狱死刑犯的最后一餐,这是个杰出与险恶并存的系列。Collishaw的作品描绘了来自德克萨斯囚犯的要求,这一自1976年以来有着最高处决数字的州。然而在2011年,德克萨斯州在Lawrence Russell Brewer点了两份炸鸡排、一个三层培根芝士汉堡、炸秋葵、一磅烤肉、三个法士达、肉类大会披萨、一品脱冰激凌和一大块花生酱软糖后banned(禁止)了提供最后一餐(点餐)给死囚。因其最后什么都没吃。
