Mark Woods
Arizona State University, Tempe
Born in 1966, Mark Woods graduated cum
laude from Harvard University in 1989 with a degree in
Philosophy and Government. On the path towards understanding the
role constructed for him as a white male, he stumbled upon photography
as a tool for enacting parodies of that role. Between college and
graduate school, he worked for a year in a photography store to refine
his appreciation for the vernacular uses of the medium. Less skeptical
about these uses of photography than about the future of fine art, he nevertheless
proceeded to cultivate a parasitical dependence on the institutions and
strategies of art photography. He is presently completing a four-year program
of study in the history, theory, criticism, and studio production of photography.
He teaches courses in both photography and two-dimensional design. |
