Sneezing out books

I've just finished reading Andrea Bowers / Catherine Opie, a conversation between the two artists, published this year by A.R.T. Press. I'll be featuring the book in our next email newsletter in time for Opie's upcoming exhibition at the Guggenheim (subscribe for free here), but I just had to point out this thought-provoking and particularly funny passage:

"Bowers: I admire how proactive you are in supporting other artists. Although there are many more opportunities for women artists today, the inequalities are still huge. There's still a glass ceiling, particularly in publishing. That's why I think it's so important that we are doing this interview together.

"Opie: Well, it's the same thing with me. I'm gonna have four floors at the Guggenheim...

"Bowers: I mean, c'mon Cathy, I'm so happy for you!

"Opie: ... yeah, it's unbelievable. But at the same time, whenever one of my contemporaries—Wolfgang Tillmans, Jack Pierson—sneezes out a photograph, a book is published."
