Art & Globalism - Allan Sekula

Globalism and industrilisation are key factors in the society that we live in, so intertwined with the progression of society and technology, of corse many of these themes become related and lines blurred. For the artist that explore these area's, such as Allan Sekula, it seems it is a concern that never ends, as with his exhibition of the "fish story" project, he presented this work as an ongoing work in progress. The "fish story" refers to maritime industry and its causes and effects, both industraly and environmentaly. With over 100 photos and writen documentation, it seems that much as time is an issue that consumes artists, so too do the areas that relate to the world in which we live and the ever growing and changing environment that is so clearly inescapable to our sensability.


ps... very sorry but it would seem that all my technical devices are s**ting themselves thus not allowing me to post images...if i could fix it i would...honestly far too close to re-decorating with a hammer! sorry.
