Jen Bervin

             Jen Bervin’s, Nets, published by Ugly Duckling Presse 2004, is a collection of 60 sonnets by William Shakespeare, reconfigured to make contemporary meaning with his words. Bervin used grey type to print Shakespeare’s classic sonnets and then bolded her chosen words in black. She has “stripped” the classical Shakespearian sonnets down to their “nets” and reveals a duality of meanings within the work. Jen Bervin describes her process of writing, “When we write poems, the history of poetry is with us, pre-inscribed in the white of the page..” For the reader she has replicated this inscription, allowing one to understand exactly how history informs her pieces, simultaneously revealing how she transforms the historical work. The ambiguity of the minimal form along side the openness of her writing invites the reader to draw many conclusions of their own. Bervin has, with purpose, successfully used omission as a strong component of her book. The lack of page numbers, titles or added explanation gives the reader a freedom to explore her work much as she has done previously with Shakespeare’s originals. One may choose to read this as one long strung together poem, 60 short poems bolded in black, or classical sonnets with highlighted emphasis. Bervin challenges the reader to authorize their own version with the way in which one may read her piece. Building an infinite collection of poems, bound not by space or time, yet existing within this one similar, classical vocabulary, Shakespearian sonnets.

Ryan Mcginley

While I feel certain that Ryan Mcginley is one of my least favorite photographers I think that this photograph from his series 'Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" might be genius. See more of his work here.

From his new illustrated edition of Genisis the show of the original drawings at David Zwirner was awesome. See more here.

Paul Pfeiffer

I can't remember who I was talking to about working with images of horror but here is the guy I was talking about. Paul Pfeiffer does really interesting stuff with footage from sports events, but this is a project he did with footage from The Exorcist I think. He does not seem to have his own website, but check him out on Art21 here.

Rory Mulligan

Rory Mulligan is in his final semester at Yale's MFA program in Photography. He does not, as of yet, have a website but he said he will let me know when he gets it up and I will repost then. In the mean time you can look at more of his work here. Also if you would like to see all of the work of the Yale MFA programs (everything not just photo) look here.
