I visited two related exhibitions YOU ARE THE SHOW featuring a selection of images by ArtCenter photography alumni and students. And a concurrent exhibition, This Is Not a Selfie: Photographic Self-Portraits from the Audrey and Sydney Irmas Collection, an exhibition organised by LACMA at ArtCenter College of Design’s Alyce de Roulet Williamson Gallery in Pasadena (23/02/18 to 03/06/18). When I was looking around these exhibitions I could not help asking myself ‘what does this all mean if anything!’ Thinking about, self expression, self assertion, self absorption, self obsession, self reflection, or vanity, and also what Quentin Crisp said “All you have to offer is yourself.” At the end I noticed an exhibit piece, a distorting mirror, and I came to understand the title of the exhibition a bit better ‘You are the Show’.
