A yearlong project is underway. Words Without Pictures is an extraordinary undertaking by an impressive group of artists, curators, historians, writers, educators and even a blogger to spend the coming year examining opinions concerning the art of photography. In their words:
"WORDS WITHOUT PICTURES is purposefully multi-voiced and multi-layered. It includes essays, discussion forums, debates, one-to-one conversations, and questionnaires. Words Without Pictures is using this range of formats to gauge a broad range of opinions about photography before they become received wisdom. We offer the ideas that begin this year-long process fully aware that subsequent discussions on this site will determine the directions the project will take. Words Without Pictures invites you to contribute your perspective on the directional shifts in photography and help us define their meaning."
The first essay is written by Christopher Bedford, Curatorial Assistant in the Department of Contemporary Art at the Los Angeles Museum of Art.
