Untitled (Piazza Navona) 1978

Editor: So, here we have Bill Dane's "Untitled (Piazza Navona)" – a postcard-sized photograph of a fountain. The composition, with the statue's foot looming large, is so striking. What do you make of it? Curator: The looming foot, for me, speaks to the weight of history, literally and figuratively. The postcard format is clever, isn't it? A fleeting moment captured, a memory for sale. Dane seems to be asking: what does it mean to experience a place through an image? And, perhaps, how does mass reproduction change our relationship to art? Editor: That's fascinating! I hadn't considered the postcard element. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure. Art is not just in the seeing but in the feeling, too.
