I just finished this book (believe it or not in a “In and out” parking lot on the way to LA which somehow seems fitting. I just stood there because I was almost done and read the entirety of Notes on “Camp” in one go) A Review: A lot of good essays. On Style. notes on “camp” come to mind. I’ll focus on those. Great overview of art and how it came into being in the backdrop of the 1960s in New York. In many ways, trends of where art was going at the time and where technology was going and moving towards seems generally contemporary and could be words that I read in a blog post somewhere. Of course there are some ideas that are outdated but overall my feeling about how art is perceived and created doesn’t feel like it’s significantly changed in the past 50 years. If anything artists creators writers etc. in a modern setting have been struggling to find meaning in an increasingly complex and difficult age of mechanical reproduction hard. It also highlights Susan Sontag’s ambition or at least desire to create something interesting and lasting as she had just arrived in NYC with something to prove just as the 60s was happening.
