Ken Lum - Steve - The best repro I could find on Google Images, enlarged in html. Lum took pictures of "normal" people and made deluxe graphics for them so they could be bigger than life, "special." "Steve" haunts me, I don't know why.
There is a brilliant essay by Ken Lum about being an artist/art writer in the current issue of Canadian Art, adapted from his keynote address at the Sidney Biennale. Unfortunately it's not available online. I've just been on a futile fishing trip through stacks of paper looking for my copy of the mag. When I do find it I'll post an excerpt.
I think his work is pretty consistently interesting. I didn't know he wrote!
