Indepth Arts News:
"Tina Barney"
1999-08-27 until 1999-11-14
Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art
Kansas City, MO,
USA United States of America
Born into a wealthy New England family, photographer Tina Barney has made her family
the subject of her artistic vision. Photographing the daily lives and social rituals of her
family including weddings, cocktail parties, and Christmas dinners, Barney documents the
complex relationships played out between family members. In the past several years she has
begun to include herself within the photographs, asking why the photographer should
remain on the outside of the picture. Rather than criticizing her surroundings as many
contemporary artists do, Barneys photographs-which for all their technical sophistication
have a snapshot-like quality to them suggesting a familial spontaneity-are empathetic
portraits of personal relationships.
