Artist Rooms Tour exhibiting at Nottingham Contemporary until 3rd Oct 2010 http://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/art/diane-arbus
No fancy camera angles, just sober enigmatic subjects. Arbus portrays her subjects without fuss, hunting for the marginalised in the 60’s and 70’s. Her style is very humble so we depart unbeguiled by Arbus but we are left spellbound by her clever voyaging.
My slow treads did nothing to help my feeling of self invisibility; I think this feeling was shared. My favourites: The Puerto Rican woman amongst too many. Incredible.
