Abstract
Abstract Six works from the artist Mira Schor's open-ended series of handwritten defacements of the New York Times— most often of its front page—which she irregularly posts on Instagram. Varying in intensity, all have the same target: the way the language of the paper, aping “objectivity,” often tends toward obfuscation, which the artist regards as a dereliction of duty, a variety of Orwellian doublespeak that is much more subtle than what one might find on Fox News, making the debunking of its rhetoric all the more urgent.
艺术家米拉·肖尔(Mira Schor)的六幅作品是她不定期地在Instagram上发布的《纽约时报》(New York Times)开放式手写涂鸦系列——大多数是头版。虽然强度不同,但都有相同的目标:报纸的语言方式,模仿“客观性”,往往倾向于混淆,艺术家认为这是一种玩忽职守,是一种奥威尔式的双重性,比人们在福克斯新闻上看到的要微妙得多,这使得揭穿其修辞变得更加紧迫。
