[title not known] 1998

Editor: Paul Coldwell's untitled print features a somber row of suits. They feel almost like a uniform or a symbol of conformity. What do you see in this piece? Curator: These suits evoke a sense of anonymity and the suppression of individuality often associated with corporate culture, and the patriarchy. How does the artist use repetition to emphasize this idea? Editor: The suits are all similar, creating a sense of uniformity and maybe even loss of self. This makes me think about power structures. Curator: Exactly. The suit, historically a garment of male authority, represents power and control. Coldwell challenges us to reflect on the implications of these symbols within society. I wonder, how might we subvert these sartorial expectations? Editor: Thinking about it in that way gives me a new perspective. Thanks! Curator: Indeed, art encourages us to question and reimagine.
