| With Cop Sculpture, in the absence of any actual sculpture to deem good or bad, we witnessed the construction of conspiracy, or of conspiracies--the initial conspiracy to estheticize evidence of crime, and the encompassing conspiracy between Tobier and Byfield, and between them and us. How do you answer the charge that the movie estheticizes dispossession? For example, in Deanna Jane Miesch's 1991 black and white photograph, the words, "Rape isn't beautiful" are typed across an image of Bernini's 17th-century sculpture, The Rape of Proserpina, questioning the tendency of traditional art-historical accounts to iconize and estheticize without examining a work's ideological implications. |
