The Whitney Cut-outs

This month's featured works

The Whitney Cut-outs are made of thrown away photos from the Whitney Museum of American Art. Take one photo, cut the subject out and add background. The aesthetic meaning of the original duplicated in the photograph changes and an entirely new hidden meaning emerges from the new work. Through the Copy Series a conversation unfolds about one's relationship to copied images. The Copy Series presents the copy as both a physical artifact of our time and an ubiquitous category of experience and knowledge that automatically diminishes the uniqueness, originality and authorship of images. Please rethink the value of authenticity, the original and the copy and be creative with it.
