[Fall 2016]
With great sensitivity and remarkable image quality, the works brought together in this section offer a renewed gaze at discredited realities and experiences. They do this by showing us people in their living environments. And yet, it is not individuals that these works offer as much as a certain order of representation, certain priorities, a certain way of seeing things that encourages us to reevaluate them.
March 16, 2020 [originally published in Spring 2016] — The complete content of CV103 is now available online including porfolios of Yoanis Menge, Outsiders and Marisa Portolese, essays about The Edge of the Earth, Robert Bean and Carl Trahan, an interview with Ami Barak as well as several recent exhibition and publication reviews.

March 10, 2020 [originally published in CV104 in Fall 2016] — The title that brings together the wild and woolly works in Outsiders: American Photography and Film, 1950s–1980s1 is worthy of consideration. The word “outside” depends on its semiotic partner in crime – “inside.” . . .
