Talk:Adi Nes

message: I'm not really comfortable with using this word twice in a two-paragraph article. The Nes photos are only homoerotic if you imagine that women don't look at photographs, or that like in the (civilian) USA men never touch one another...or that handcuffed people are sexy... The artist's politics and sensibility are subverted if the viewer is prepped to approach them with prurience. Did Nes himself say that the photos are meant to be sexy?
Praz Delavallade gallery has the sample of Nes I've looked at the longest, maybe I'm missing a portion of his work.
I want to take "homoerotic" out for NPOV and Global but thought I'd say something first...

replies: text: At the very least the article should describe his oeuvre as "widely described as homoerotic" (just  Google "adi nes" homoerotic).  I've spoken to Jack Shainman (Nes' exclusive US dealer) who described the work using language similar to what I put in the article ("Nes' early work tries to subvert the stereotype of the macho, masculine male Israeli by using homoeroticism and sleeping, vulnerable figures.")  Again, maybe inserting "has been characterized as" with a cite to the NYT or whatever would solve this. Fireplace 13:53, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

text: The article as it is now should provide plenty of cultural background. The American/European stereotype of the Jewish man is not what's called into question here, as you can see by reading the article. In fact, the way Israelis are stereotyped and the way non-Israeli Jews are is quite different. Nes's photography dialogues with the former. And yes, it's homoerotic.

text: It's not of relevance to the state of the article, unless you are proposing an edit that removes any reference to homoerotic interpretations of Nes's photography. For future reference, though, colons are used to indent one's additions to talk pages so the discussion is logically ordered. LeaHazel : talk : contribs 15:37, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: homoerotic?

message: I am updating the gallery collection with proper captions - titles, year, size, edition. I am taking them directly from a catalog published by the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. ISBN: 978-965-7161-56-2, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, cat 5. 2007.
I am not adding nor subtracting any of the existing images since i do not know the status of the copyrights. I assume those already added are legitimate.
