I had the pleasure of befriending Melanie during a residency with Marlene McCarty at The Atlantic Center for the Arts last June. In fact, I assisted with mud management for some of the photos. In return she helped me shoot my Janie Jones images. www.janiejones1979.com<br />
I think her work is amazing and quietly thoughtful yet political, making me think of Ana Mendieta and Francesca Woodman. I'm surprised you would think of Ryan McGinley as I don't see the connection.</p>ariel commented on 'Photographer Find at Art Chicago - Melanie Schiff'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451694c69e200d83579b03c69e22007-05-18T16:52:13Z2007-08-23T00:48:50Zarielto me her photos mean nothing at all-3rd. rate at best -the new flavor of the month -with all the...<p><br />
to me her photos mean nothing at all-3rd. rate at best -the new <br />
flavor of the month -with all the manufactured hype she will have some sort of run -the photo world<br />
is so filled with mediocrity.<br />

Some of these I like but I have a hard time getting a feeling of what her photos all mean, individually and as a whole. And a lot of her photos at kavi gupta... it feels like I'm looking at a photodisc catalog. I'd wait and see how she develops or comes together before buying into this. Maybe worth watching?</p>Lex Hortensia commented on 'Photographer Find at Art Chicago - Melanie Schiff'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451694c69e200d83503db6e53ef2007-05-08T23:11:48Z2007-08-22T21:00:46ZLex Hortensiaseriously, take a look at sarah anne johnson's work and tell me it isn't this stuff only more: http://www.saulgallery.com/chronicle/johnson_tree.html<p>seriously, take a look at sarah anne johnson's work and tell me it isn't this stuff only more: <a href="http://www.saulgallery.com/chronicle/johnson_tree.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.saulgallery.com/chronicle/johnson_tree.html</a></p>Horton commented on 'Photographer Find at Art Chicago - Melanie Schiff'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451694c69e200d835369d0069e22007-05-08T14:11:57Z2007-08-22T20:53:49ZHortonI think her work does a good job of capturing the hippy revival thing in a non-obnoxious way.

Makes me feel like I'm rolling out of a sleeping bag after a night of hitting the bong in Santa Cruz...and Sarah Anne Johnson has already done a better job of capturing that feeling. </p>
