Real friends can never be lost. You can only lose people masquerading as friends. This is a good thing. Friends don't wear masks.

A few images from new release '⁠'Gillian Wearing: Wearing Masks,' published to accompany the current exhibition @guggenheim ⁠ ⁠ One of the most influential conceptual artists of her generation, Gillian Wearing first gained recognition in the 1990s for groundbreaking photographs and videos that recorded the confessions and interactions of ordinary people she befriended through chance encounters. In its candor and psychological intensity, her work extends the traditions of portraiture initiated by Sander, Weegee and Arbus. Yet in her ongoing attention to technology’s role in the presentation of self, Wearing has presciently identified defining aspects of contemporary visual culture, from reality television to the rise of the selfie.⁠ Published for Wearing’s first North American retrospective, 'Wearing Masks' traces the acclaimed artist’s practice from her earliest Polaroids and videos to her most recent production, including large-scale photographic self-portraits of Wearing in the guise of other artists; a more intimate body of self-portraits titled 'Lockdown;' and installations and commissioned public sculpture. Essays by co-curators Jennifer Blessing and Nat Trotman provide an overview of Wearing’s oeuvre, and a “self-interview” by Wearing offers a revealing firsthand account of the artist’s practice, including her ongoing project 'Your Views' (2013–), in which she has recently responded to the COVID-19 pandemic, and her exploration of AI technology in the video work 'Wearing, Gillian' (2018).⁠ ⁠ Pictured here: ⁠ Self-Portrait of Me Now in Mask (2011)⁠ Dancing in Peckham (1994)⁠ Detail from Signs that say what you want them to say and not Signs that say what someone else wants you to say (1992-93)⁠ Kiss of Life (2017)⁠ Me as O'Keeffe (2018)⁠ Millicent Fawcett (2018)⁠ Me as Eva Hesse (2019)⁠ Untitled (Lockdown portraits) (2020)⁠ Untitled (Lockdown portraits) (2020)⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ @jenny_blessing @smoke_and_mirrors #gillianwearing #wearingmasks #conceptualart #yba https://www.instagram.com/p/CXLvPZXlrRQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Everything in 'Gillian Wearing: Wearing Masks' @guggenheim "revolves around a single question: Who are you, and can I ever really know you?"⁠ ⁠ We recommend this in-depth @willvheinrich feature on the British Turner Prize-winning conceptual artist's expansive new retrospective @guggenheim⁠ ⁠ Heinrich concludes: "Photographers of the past, like August Sander and Weegee, or like Diane Arbus, had distinct voices because they had particular aesthetic preferences and points of view. You get the sense of who they were as artists from what they chose to shoot, and how they shot it. But they were also genuinely interested in the people they were photographing, and that interest came across. What Wearing does — and it’s both her strength and her weakness — is to use people’s stories, and even her own, as material to illustrate high-concept ideas. What is identity? What is authenticity? What kind of media can you trust? Without answers, these questions are fascinating, and maddening, and eternal."⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #gillianwearing #wearingmasks #conceptualart #YBA https://www.instagram.com/p/CXKEeElpwkd/?utm_medium=tumblr

                                 Take your Own Advice, Wear a Mask 

Before the COVID-19 pandemic struck the world, the only people that can be seen wearing masks are those working in the healthcare department such as doctors and dentists and sometimes, even the drivers of jeepneys that can be seen in the road so they will be able to inhale the smoke that comes out of the mufflers of the vehicles passing by them.  

Now with the COVID-19 pandemic affecting the people of the world, masks are essential to protect the health of the people from the deadly virus that mainly affects the respiratory system. We Filipinos are cautious of our health so as much as it is not comfortable to wear a mask, we do it for the sake of our health and safety.

I personally think that the government should sanction the wearing of it in public places and gatherings. Wearing a mask, especially during this time of health crisis, is one of the most effective ways on how to stay protected. Wearing a mask would lower the risk of transmission of the virus from one person to another.

Today, establishments such as malls have implemented the rule of “No Mask, No Entry” and I think that is an effective way of how people could avoid affecting one another and also a way how people could move on and live their lives like normal while also making sure that they are protected. Also, transportation services such as taxis and jeepneys have implemented this rule by not letting riders get in if they are not wearing face masks.

In conclusion, lowering the risk of transmission of COVID-19 is the main reason on why the government should sanction wearing face masks in public places and gatherings, for the safety and health of the people is at stake when wearing masks are not sanctioned by the government when going to public places and holding gatherings.

Masked. • • It is so strange and difficult for me to digest the fact that this is the new status quo. When it all began back in March, I couldn’t even imagine this situation going on for so long. One or two months top, I had thought. • • But here we are, five months in, and there is still no end in sight. And while I do enjoy the social distancing (I hate being touched) and people being more aware and careful with hygiene, cleanliness and crowding, it is scary and frustrating that this can go on for many more months. • • Until further notice (whenever that may be) we need to walk around with masks on our faces, everywhere we go, and it just doesn’t sink it. Every so often it suddenly strikes me that we are all wearing masks, and how bizarre that is. I just can’t get used to it. • • But we cannot stop our lives forever and we have to move forward, and if this is what keeps us safe - we gotta do it. And I hope you are all keeping safe and wearing them despite how uncomfortable and annoying they are. • • Also, isn’t it just odd that now every time we leave the house we have to remember to take our phone, keys, wallet and a mask! So weird. • • How about you? Is it hard for you too to get used to? What has been the hardest change for you? • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #wearingmasks #wearingmask #wearingmask😷 #newstatusquo #strangetimes #strangetimes2020 #bizzaretimes #hardtogetusedto #quarantinelife #covidlife #coronaviruslife #personalthoughts #personalexperience #personalblog #personalblogger #hardtobelieve #whatayear (at Tel Aviv, Israel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEE8sWMhRwc/?igshid=18sdgjwsorje
