make mystery alone as humor challenges the power of art, providing light on how the gaze of a camera does not become one of the things we see, but all a camera does is exist. The artist admits that he is being too meticulous and that this has a good, temporary effect on him. He is obliged to be more careful and sensitive to his work. The risk is also that his work may become too fussy.

The chasm here is between the absurdity of asking the question and the irony of asking it in the first place.The tradition of art as art is now both less and more austere. Where art is originally a construct, one can question its meaning. Almost everyone is questioning the meaning of the word art. The word is no longer simply a signifier for aesthetic merit; it is a complex, cultural construct, and within that context, the name art is no longer so shocking. In an art world increasingly competitive for status symbols, what used to be called decorative art is now seen as the very stuff that can be bought. And it is this ambiguity that makes the affair so compelling: the situation of the art world. Who is an artist? How can art be considered as something other than a signifier of value?The point is that one can hardly say for certain what the question is asked; the question is a condition of life, a question that will become more and more puzzling until it is answered. Art is a medium, but one with a life of its own. It is no longer the whole of life, and it is also no longer the vehicle for its own expressive meaning. One cannot do much, for example, with the painting from the Collection of Civil War Sculpture by Abijah C. Hopkins, Richmond, Virginia, 1861, which is merely a stylized version of the original. What about a work by a resident of Nogales? Is it a personal or an art work? The answer to the question is an a priori yes. The artists hand cannot be considered any less valid as art, for it has come to stand as an appropriation of a work by another, and so a kind of appropriation is implied. Other more serious questions are raised by other kinds of appropriation, too, such as the use of other paintings by members of the diaspora.

Having been brought back from the abyss of annihilation in New York, where he spent most of the last decade, he lost his way as a person. He no longer had any human contacts and wanted to return to a nature that he could not yet understand or use. His life, where he found his power, was abandoned to the natural by-products of his memory. Through the psychics and magicians of the 60s, he was able to stop that process of disillusionment. The returns of a forgotten or missing person who is reunited with all that he lost are the best kind of return.Catherine Opie is a writer living in New York.

VIBR. Actually I have to work with the work for a while. The show goes on, and continues, and I keep looking. It makes no difference what I do. VIBR. You can never really make the connection between the work and the artwork. Think of all the artist's done. Think of a Coleridge, or a Dickinson, or some other simple sign, you can see the relevance. To the point that it almost seems uncanny that the works in the show are themselves made of FAME (fame being a wildly popular term today); how can you know that people are interested in buying these things?—Jennifer Josten, Black Male/Black Female, UCLY. My work is never a reflection on fame. I have no grande dame. Ive always used work as an archive. I think its always been that way. I don't mean to suggest, however, that I am still making works that are aimed at fame or that give any credence to the idea that celebrity is a meaningful thing. I just mean that Ive never made anything that has any genuine relation to fame. Most people know what I mean. To the most ardent celebrity believer, fame is a form of affirmation—a declaration of authority and of possession. When I make work, Im sure Im going to be seen as the one, real star in the world. Thats all.

(I couldnt stand the dolls and the kitsch and I wouldnt have thought to ask.)Now I could be wrong, but Im sure Ive made some errors. (Thats my life. I can't even tell you where to go.) Ive missed some of the highlights. Ive missed some of the familys favorite things. The line is as familiar as the seers and the castle and they have both been in just about every incarnation of fairy tale, and some of the dancing is terribly out of place with their candy colors. Theyre all in the pack but they dont seem to be his family. I can only remember the fat ones with the wicked. I can only remember the outsiders and the white ones in green, black, orange and purple who must have felt like no one. I can only remember the haters, who were so rude about dancing. He can complain about the haters but they know he loves the haters, and they know what everyone else must have felt like. I say that, it seems to me, thats the key to the magic of the family and the family of Jean and the Lichtenstein. I was a child of the 60s and to my mind the family is an essential part of the magic of this life.Its the familys magic that keeps it alive and growing, not its magic. Jean and the Lichtenstein are both over 40 and still going strong. The family doesn't seem to be changing, and at the end of the year, theyre all old and white. It may be that in the end they will all be in the same old days, but theyve got a lot to do.
