529 W 20th StSpear has also curated a consecutive group exhibition in the viewing room of the gallery, which posits image-making versus photojournalism. THE ACCIDENTALLY REAL, featuring the work of Susan Crile, Reuben Negron, Ward Shelley, Nancy Spero, Eve Sussman and Amanda Williams, further illustrates the power of representation. Spero rips images out of historical missiles and tattoos her paper with the currency of human struggle. Williams uses the gallery wall to scratch out a soldier's atlas of the streets of Baghdad. Sussman uses reenactments to create a new kind of verité.
Spear explains: "Something significant has been happening in the last several years. While the political discourse of the mainstream media has skirted scandalous actions and regurgitated rhetoric, a vigorous political criticism has increasingly been voiced in the arts. In films, plays, the visual arts, music, poetry and novels, contemporary politics is being either analogized or symbolized in scarcely disguised form. Indeed, we are seeing a sort of samizdat for our time and place."
