古根海姆美术馆举办“家庭照”展

　　（雅昌艺术网讯）对家庭的描绘是古根海姆美术馆珍藏品的特色之一，从19世纪中期开始，当代摄影与影像把家庭照中的儿童开始作为探究，摄影术总作为回忆家庭的过去起着重要作用，无论是通过肖像画法或者像婚礼一样有着重大意义里程碑的证明，在这些图像中，儿童时代短暂的片刻瞬间被保存，并且确定子孙后裔在家庭中的身份。

　　许多当代艺术家创作孩子们的肖像作品， 艺术家自己经常为他们的工作讲述着：照片作为美国的传统也表现了艺术作为美国青春期的历史记录，有些艺术家关注人们童年的记忆，而成年人通过把生活编成小说来展示童年的创伤。为了探测真实的心理，这些艺术家创作更加有启迪性作品的家庭照来增添孩童时期的情感。

　　参展艺术家：Janine Antoni, Patty Chang, Gregory Crewdson, Rineke Dijkstra, Nathalie Djurberg, Anna Gaskell, Nan Goldin, Loretta Lux, Sally Mann, Robert Mapplethorpe, Tracey Moffatt, Catherine Opie, Collier Schorr, Thomas Struth, Hellen van Meene, and Gillian Wearing.

　　Featuring works drawn from the Guggenheim museum's permanent collection, Family Pictures explores the representation of families and children in contemporary photography and video. Since its inception in the mid-19th century, photography has always been used to represent the bonds of family, whether through portraiture or documents of important milestones like weddings. In these images, fleeting moments of childhood are captured and preserved, and the family unit is fixed for posterity.

　　Many contemporary artists create portraits o f children—often their own—in works that expand on photography's vernacular tradition as well as the representation of youth in the history of art. Other artists look to harness the power of childhood memory in adult life through fictionalized renditions of past traumatic events; in order to plumb psychological truths, these artists portray a more revealing image of family dynamics and the emotional tone of childhood.

　　artists: Janine Antoni, Patty Chang, Gregory Crewdson, Rineke Dijkstra, Nathalie Djurberg, Anna Gaskell, Nan Goldin, Loretta Lux, Sally Mann, Robert Mapplethorpe, Tracey Moffatt, Catherine Opie, Collier Schorr, Thomas Struth, Hellen van Meene, and Gillian Wearing.
