יובל בן-עמי Yuval Ben-Ami said...: I'm enjoying your curating feats and gave your blog a mention on my own blog today. "To Let Myself Go" is especially stunning, the Martin Klimas figurines are smashing and that Alec Soth photo is special too. Thanks for all.; 3:30 AM, January 08, 2008

Stephen, indeed very strong photos by Clark. have you seen some of his movies? i find them hard to watch, but what an amazing quality of imagery!; 10:50 PM, January 08, 2008

It is still his photographs that have resonated with me the most, as there is no story or movement to hide the emptiness of the subjects' lives. I was able to find most of them through a college interlibrary loan system.

Are you familiar with Harmony Korine? He wrote several scripts for Clark's films and has gone on to make several of his own films. I've found his work to be extremely worthwhile.

Amazing blog, this is one of the few art blogs that I check regularly as I am always pleased by what I see.; 9:56 AM, January 12, 2008
