Although Wegman's artistic output includes photography and video work that doesn't feature canines, by the mid-Seventies, he wryly notes, I had become the guy with the dog. The dog was Man Ray, a weimaraner with a movie star's instinct for the spotlight. Using a 1978 20x24 Polaroid camera, Wegman captured his beloved dog on film; for more than 20 years now, Wegman has continued to experiment with the camera, immortalizing his next weimaraner, Fay Ray, and a long line of her progeny.

铁托南斯拉夫共chan主义极简主义狂野世界指南 Spomenik-- Serbo-Croat /斯洛文尼亚语中的纪念碑 - 指的是20世纪60年代至80年代在铁托的南斯拉夫共和国建造的纪念碑,标志着第二次世界大战期间占领的恐怖和轴心国的失败。全国各地都有数百座建筑,从沿海度假胜地到偏远山区。通过这些富有想象力的混凝土和钢铁形式,设想了一个没有种族紧张局势的无阶级,前瞻性的社会主义社会。而不是寻求意识形态一致的苏联的艺术灵感,铁托转向西方和抽象表现主义和极简主义的作品。这使得南斯拉夫能够通过纪念碑发展自己独特的身份,将它们变成政治工具,阐明铁托对新明天的个人愿景。 今天,在该国解体和随后的1990年代南斯拉夫战争之后,一些人被摧毁或被遗弃。许多人遭受了种族紧张局势的后果:一旦被视为希望的象征,他们现在成为怨恨和愤怒的焦点。 本
