Week in Review: December 17th, 2024

This week's expanded edition asks the question, "What is an image today?". Jim Goldberg, Todd Hido, and John Divola's works stand as testaments to photography's documentary legacy, while Holly Herndon & Mat Dryhurst, Trevor Paglen, Kevin Esherick, and Alina Trifan explore territories where the image exists as both input and output.

Week in Review: December 1st, 2024

This week's Contemporary NFT Daily is guest curated by Lowbie, a mixed media artist, archivist and writer. His horse-themed selections include works from Parker Ito, Toji A, Squishy Drifters, 'Studs', Sotce, Jacob Horne and Tojiba Brand Manager's 'Horses'.

There was a shop in my hometown where you could buy those old film slides, the colour positive ones. Me and my ex girlfriend discovered them one day, and spent the next few hours looking through them all. The shop as a whole was basically a glorified junk shop, as most faux-antique places are, but there was something very special about all these photos. We can assume each box once held masses of sentimental value, and are now haphazardly discarded and exclusively bought/used by the various art school kids in town.

For my 18th birthday, she collected a bunch of these slides and wrote about why she chose each one for me. The most poignant for me was the final one she gave me, an image of 4 horses standing idly by a road. She captioned it 'My favourite. I cannot explain it. The only life worth leading is one of a cowboy. Free.'
