Critical Dictionary
Criticaldictionary.com is an online, cumulative picture dictionary. It goes from a to z, though not necessarily in that order. Conventional dictionaries define words. Here, words are undefined.
Criticaldictionary.com is dialogic. The emphasis is on photography, but often in dialogue with other media like dance, literature and music. There is also a temporal dialogue between past and present. And a geographical dialogue between artists based in various countries.
The project was launched in 2005. To date, ten issues have appeared, tackling themes like Empire, Face, Family Album, Monument, Navigation and Skirt. Forthcoming issues in 2007 will deal with Drawing, Metaphor and Tree. In addition, guests edit issues from cities around the world. Issue 9 was E-Mail from Belfast (put together by the photography gallery Belfast Exposed), and comparable issues are forthcoming from Oslo (Norway), Rovaniemi (Finland) and Manila (The Philippines).
