The patterns that Katie curates, whether for a few hours on her Twitter, or in a more extensive and permanent way on one of her many blogs, tend to highlight the special way that the internet makes our most serious and meaningful desires and expressions come across as petty and absurd.
…
There’s a whole business model built on aggregating and curating the smartest and most interesting stuff on the web; Katie has dedicated herself to uncovering and collecting the saddest and stupidest and most banal (and most obsessed with My Little Pony). Amid the hyperbole and narcissism of the internet it’s nice to be reminded of how fundamentally silly human beings actually are.
The three covers for The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the Unconscious. From left to right: Thames and Hudson photograph by Lee Friedlander; Aperture photograph by Carrie Levy; Actes Sud photograph by Erwin Blumenfeld.
In the latest edition of the online magazine, “At Length,” there is an insightful interview with the noted photo collector, curator and dealer Bill Hunt, who has over forty years of experience. His new book, “The Unseen Eye,” offers a great introduction to his collection, his passion for photography, and why there are so few “great” photographs out there.
Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in fine art photography, collecting and seeing brilliant work.
