A Chicago (ish) art tumblog by me, Claudine Ise. I'm an art writer and a regular contributor to badatsports.com, art:21 blog, Artforum.com, and Chicago Magazine's Guide section. This is a visual notebook of the articles, images, videos and other gunk that's clogging my brain at the moment....some of it fodder for the larger stuff I am, have been, or will be writing about.
“What an incredibly fraught process the separation of mother and daughter is, maybe even more so than of father and son. Because of the role as object that women are encouraged to play in society, the differentiation between mother and daughter is full of confusions and projections. I think that men, who are allowed to simply become subjects, have an easier time. Male aggression and competition help propel that division between father and son, through classical Oedipal terms.”
