Carter Exhibitions and Paintings at Saatchi-gallery

Carter lives and works in New York. Carter's works - typically photographic collages or dense, layered, ink drawings - are a form of deflected (or defective) self-portraiture. Carter's works on paper are assembled - in a manner akin to a police "Identikit" image, or a "Mr. Potato Head" figure - from pre- drawn fragments that depict bodily parts and facial characteristics (profiles, hair styles, moustaches, beards, noses, ears, mouths, eyes, etc.), and invariably make reference to the artist's own physiognomy. As in his photographic collages - in which two images, often Polaroid or passport-style portraits of the artist are literally juxtaposed one on top of another: with details from one image 'infecting' or 'corrupting' the other - Carter's drawing seek to obscure, or confuse, notions of self-identity (and identification).

Like Arnulf Rainer's psychologically charged, modified photographic self-portraits, Carter's visceral work presents human identity (and sexuality) as kind of mask: a series of options, or variables, that not only reveal our culture's fascination for body augmentation (e.g. TV's 'Nip/Tuck') but also reveal our profound unease with the body. Carter's work references a time when these "options" weren't options, but rather necessities in the construction of the closet, as in Rock Hudson's 1966 film, "Seconds." There, plastic surgery transforms Hudson's character from straight-laced, Manhattanite businessman into an artist living in Malibu, CA. The new Rock is an idealized portrait, cobbled together from disparate, altered parts. It is this type of dissemblance that is referenced in Carter's collaged drawings and Polaroids.

Conclusions:

Carter uses abstracted drawing as a means of investigation into the shifting concepts of the human body and personal identity. In Untitled, Carter presets a diptych of two rivalling fields of blob-like specimens, each self-contained like Petri dishes nurturing biological mutation. Using his own features as a control for experimentation, Carter’s two panels show subtle variations of the same forms, his abject and non-descript shapes converge as a catalogue of physical possibilities: eyes, lips, noses, and hairstyles float as disembodied samples for facial alteration, while geometric patterns clinically emerge as cell structures, globular tissue, or rough landscapes ripe for cultivation.

Can I label my Polaroid film before taking a picture?

I want to basically write some text underneath the square where the picture appears in the white space. this is on polaroid film.

If I do this, then put the films in my camera and take pics, will the writing in any way damage the camera?

The light will damage your film. You can't put polaroid film out of it's cassette before it is exposed.
You have to take the pic first and write the text afterwards.
The writing itself would not damage the camera but as I said before once the film is exposed to light it's ruined.
