Art & Surveillance
vol 31 no 3, 2011
Guest co-editors Virginia Fraser and Natalie King.
This issue of Artlink approaches the prying curiosity of surveillance, scopophilia, and compulsive and clandestine looking. Texts by artists, curators, writers and academics alongside images by artists who use photography, video, film, electronic networking, installation, performance and painting reveal some of the social implications of watching and the way that watching is framed. From surreptitious encounters to self-exploitation, they uncover the uneasy questions about who is looking at whom for power or pleasure. What is clear is that people love to watch! Including Judy Annear, Geoffrey Batchen, Djon Mundine and Adrian Martin.
