Beschreibung:
<p>Richard Wentworth's Making Do, Getting By series (ongoing since 1970) is exemplary of a kind of photoconceptualism that appears to merge seamlessly in the everyday experiences of the artist, thus setting up a continuum between the camera and the artist's body, art and everyday life, agency and automatism, the personal and the collective. The series exists at the intersection of sculpture, late-1960s conceptual photography, and studies of everyday life such as Mass Observation's 1930s' day surveys' and Michel de Certeau's landmark 1980 theorization of The Practice of Everyday Life. Having set up a dialogic relation between the artist and the world, Wentworth's Making Do, Getting By explores, like the writings of Certeau, Michel Foucault and Roland Barthes, the question of agency at the heart of the everyday, as well the articulation between chance, practical intelligence and memory. Thus Making Do, Getting By proposes a definition of the photographic gesture that coincides with ways of doing and living available to contemporary subjects, incessantly inventing and re-inventing their everyday experiences and identities.</p>
