Hello dear readers, Libby and i are off to the opening of the Carnegie International in Pittsburgh, in which the wonderful Zoe Strauss has a terrific project in the old steel town of Homestead, in which she’s chronicling the labor struggles of that town’s past and photographing its current residents and creating new community, like she does wherever she goes. Oh, and those new photographs, she’s giving them to the portrait sitters — the same images that will appear in the Carnegie Museum of Art — how about that for de-institutionalizing the institution!
