Tactical Response
art in an age of terror
by Kathleen MacQueen
"This project takes as its point of departure the crisis of perception that photojournalism fails to adequately take into account the problems of representing atrocity without exacerbating the violence or dehumanizing the subject. ... By selecting three artists: Hans Haacke, Krzysztof Wodiczko, and Alfredo Jaar who have struggled for decades to resolve the disparity between documentation and the production of aesthetics meaning, I propose to offer a vantage point from which we as viewers can critically address the representation of suffering and the ethics of bearing witness."--Page 3.
