21, can you remember her name? Yes, shes a person. The problem is not that she isnt a person, but that she isnt so much a person as an event. The legal, the personal, the political, and the legal are inextricably intertwined, and the issue is how we see the world and ourselves. The exhibition, like much of the art, is a case of the artist creating a state of the art world. In the end, however, it is her idea of the world and her own place in it, not the world itself, that matters most.

, etc. A witness and a suspect are considered equally, and the state is implied to be in a position of guilt. One has to wonder what the same rules might have applied to a scene in which four young black men, shot, beaten, and suspended in a van from the ceiling, were standing next to each other on a sidewalk, drunk, and a cop was standing with them. Or to a scene in which a woman, drunk, beaten, and suspended from the ceiling, was sitting in a chair, with a man leaning over her, and a cop was standing with her, too. The consequences of the actions are left unclear, but they are clearly stated: the woman is now unconscious, and the man is still a stranger to the scene. But they are also stated in a very graphic manner. It is the officer who is the aggressor, and he is depicted as a man who is going to have a rough time with these people. The cop is a man who has been in a lot of trouble. He is going to need it.The artist and his team were apparently determined to make the scene as realistic as possible, to avoid any unnecessary effects. They didnt succeed in this, but at least they succeeded in making it clear that the characters in the video werent going to be portrayed as victims, either. And if the work doesnt seem as dramatic as some of the other video works Ive seen, thats because the artist and his team didnt have the luxury to make the scenes look like they werent. The viewer was forced to confront the very real problems that these videos confront, and the way the video is set up is not going to change that. Theres no doubt that this video is a real eye-opener, but its also no doubt that a lot of video artists are trying to make a case for the importance of the real.

The photographs of such events are few and fleeting, and usually ignore the participants—who are often only apparent from a distance. But in a few cases, the camera seems to be in the participants presence. The most striking images are those in which the artist is photographing himself, in the process of taking pictures of himself. The most dramatic are those in which he is standing naked and alone in the middle of the night, looking out at the world and seeing the world looking back at him. In one image he is alone, naked and alone, looking out at the world, and looking back at himself. The relationship between the two is broken by the photographer, who is in the foreground, and the photographer, in the background, who is in the background. These are the most arresting images. In one, the artist is in the foreground, looking at himself. The photographer is in the foreground, but not in the photo, and the two figures in the background are blurred and indistinct. In another, the photographer is in the foreground, but not in the photo, and the two figures in the foreground are blurred and indistinct. In another, the photographer is in the foreground, but not the photo, and the two figures in the foreground are blurred and indistinct. In a third, the photographer is in the foreground, but not the photo, and the two figures in the foreground are blurred and indistinct. The photographs are shot from a distance, and the viewer is forced to see them from the side. The camera is in the foreground, but the subject is only in the background. The blurred and indistinct figures are the result of the artists movement, and of his self-consciousness, his recognition of his role, his recognition of his subjectivity. The blurred and indistinct figures, the way the artist is framed, is a metaphor for his own movement, his awareness of his subjectivity, his recognition of his own place.

, as well as against the culture, and the law, and the culture. In a sense, it was a new art, a music. The art was a new music, but the music was a song.In the end, its not so important whether the work is about drinking or about drinking. I am not sure that it is, but I am sure that the work has changed my mind. The laws, and the art, are there to be deciphered, but for me they are too banal to be important. In the end, its the real issues that are important: the power of art, the power of the individual, and the power of the nation.

Result #5

drinking, minors, against the law, knocked-out drunk, drinking responsibly, legal age, and yet a violent man slinging a gun at a woman. In another, a man is seen to be working on a pair of female models and a woman with a huge erection. And in the third, a man, seen from the waist down, sits in a bathtub with a nude woman, and it is not until he has finished that he notices that she is naked. The woman is not naked; it is only a sketch, and shes been painted as a model. Yet the man has no idea that shes a nude model, and he does not care to notice her; he just stands there staring at her, as if she were some kind of strange creature. Theres no hint of sexual tension or even of a romance, but the scene is just the same: a man in a bathtub, naked except for his underwear, and stares at a naked woman. If these paintings are to be believed, then theres a good chance that the man in the bathtub, standing next to the naked woman, will tell her that hes a cop, and that shes a prostitute.Theres no doubt that the paintings are there to be decoded, but if theres a sexual component to them, theres no way to know without the paintings. Theres no way to imagine that the man in the bathtub will tell the woman in the nude, and she will know, or rather, understand, why he would. And if hes a cop, hes a bad guy, and we can assume that the woman isnt going to be convinced. Its not like shes even going to believe him. But that doesnt mean theres no hope. Theres a chance that shes going to be convinced.
