"Photography will always exceed the institutions of art, always participate in nonart practices, always threaten the insularity of art's discourse." Photography is still the art world's newest child. Last week in class, we referred to photography as the 'stepchild' of the art world, which is both it's advantage and disadvantage. Photography has been able to grow and develop outside of the normal constrains of art.
Photography of course has played a huge role in appropriation. Crimp compares Sherrie Levine with Robert Mapplethorpe, stating that whil
e both are using appropriation, Mapplethorpe is appropriating style while Levine is appropriating painting whole "in its material form."
