Is Photography Over?
I find this sort of stylized symposium pretentious. This one, which seems to have taken place a few weeks back, hardly disappoints. But if you are the folks at SFMOMA you can do what you like. In any case, they hosted the event, inviting a baker's dozen of noted critics and commentators* to answer the question.

Seems they got tired of asking "is photography art?" I mean, they have to validate their own existence somehow. Kinda like, Communism's dead- who's the new enemy?
Who was it that said something to the effect that photography was the only art form that was constantly forced to question and validate its own existence?
