Judy Fiskin is a photographer and video artist who teaches at CalArts; her films and videos have been screened at, among other venues, the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Getty Museum; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin/Madrid; and the International Documentary Festival, Amsterdam. Diary of a Midlife Crisis (1998), her serio-comic video about a middle-aged photographer whose fear of moving the video camera provided a metaphor for her feeling of being creatively stalled, won awards at the San Francisco International Film Festival and Worldfest Houston and was screened at MOCA and in Bonn, Kassel, and Brisbane, among other places. Fiskin’s photographs were the subject of a show, “Judy Fiskin: Some More Art,” at MOCA in 1992 and included in “Los Angeles 1955-1985: Birth of an Art Capital” at the Pompidou Center in Paris in 2006. In 2011, the Getty Museum published “Some Aesthetic Decisions: The Photographs of Judy Fiskin,” a catalogue raisonne of her photographs. Photo credit: Alexander Gallardo
