Photographs are presented in
multiple formats, to emphasise their status as objects, not as mimetic devices merely depicting their subject: there are large scale, unique silver gelatin prints, with the inky, seductive, saturated blacks that are characteristic
of Beasley's hand - printed method; there is a stack
of litho - prints that you can help yourself to, and there are photographic postcards on the
kind of dumb, commercial rotating stand that ought to threaten a fine art practice but has instead been co-opted by Beasley to extend her meditation on the
currency of the photographic image.
In at least a few cases in the U.S., the Times added, cryptocurrency enthusiasts have chosen to arm themselves — though alternatives like storing the
currency in accounts that require
multiple sign - ins from different people, or simply not bragging about one's digital hoards in the first place,
kind of seem like better ideas than posting videos with assault rifles to dissuade would - be attackers.
