More about Starn Twins

Here is more information about starn twins. what they do is very interesting and inspiring to me:


Born 1961, college-, grad school-, Boston based."We've been photographing since we were 13….." Doug.
Work-
2 in 1- the twins work as if they were 1 person (note self portrait) .
post modernism- non binary (working out side the meta narrative of photography.Destroying the Renaissance and Modernist idea of the artist as singular and all powerful creator. They know no other way.
The twins "destroy" they negatives and paper (note those)
Again they are working out side of photography's meta narrative.Exposing and alluding to process and creator(s)Morning the loss of innocence.Quote "To us art can't be diminished…"
Now the twins have been focusing their energies making sculptural photographs.
Again they are working with postmodern ideas, by making the traditional medium of photography into 3 dimensions.Contrasting humanism and science - reflected with their industrial design.For the hell of it.
Of course the twins talk about all sorts of other things in their work.
Controlled Chaos- more recent worksArt history- Raft of the MedusaJapanese culture and shintoism.
Now-
The Starn Twins are moving and shaking the art establishment right now and they seem to have a bright future ahead of them.
Short films- taped together and "aged"They still have to finish a lot of they're massive pieces.
