'Taking pictures of people taking pictures of..'

MiE (Mike Fielding) explores the modern gallery experience through the increasing phenomenon of mobile phone usage and the public's obsession with 'The Spectacle' and social capital manifested through the 'Van Gogh selfie'.

 Using only a cheap compact camera or mobile phone himself, Fielding explores the relationship between patron and canvas, art and technology - thus creating a new art. Inspired by the photography of Siskind, and the Czech avant-garde photographers with a sprinkle of the American abstract expressionists, this remarkable publication looks at the concept of recycling and creating a 'new' art through the very existence of galleries and it's spectacle obsessed public.

 MiE Fielding stalks the stuffy and elitist world of curated art.
