When Art Imitates Real Life

The art of dating has recently entered the world of art, where, in the words of Bill Jeffries, curator of Simon Fraser University Gallery, it constitutes “a sufficiently new phenomenon that a body of theoretical discourse has yet to develop around it.”
One artist, Susan Bozic, has captured the art of dating in a complete series of images.
The complete series of The Dating Portfolio has been exhibited widely. It opened this year at the Arbetets Museum in Norrköping, Sweden. The Dating Portfolio consists of fifteen images.
While I can’t place copies of her images here, please do take a moment to check out her Dating Portfolio, partly displayed on Geist and complete portfolios on Susan’s personal website.
