a) thankyou for posting this.
b) i still don't think visual and performing arts should have been changed to film and television.
c) check your pms (amy)... in a minute.
d) i don't actually know much at all about art, but i like seeing other people's choices. the little i do know is generally photography-based.
i adore cindy sherman (though lately her ethics have been pretty shady), and particularly her film stills stuff. i could probably name a bunch of other stuff if prompted, but i should probably go look over some things properly.
(oh, larry clark. larry clark's photography is lovely. in the confronting way.)
