Exhibition checklist
Lucky you to be able to see this - here in SF, we have a show of Richard Serra "drawings," i.e. monster sized paintings in oil stock of black on black. Rooms and rooms of them. I review art for the Examiner,com and I had a hard time biting back the snark at this overhyped tripe. It's not drawing, not by any defintion of the term.
ReplyDeleteNamastenancy: If I may suggest, review something other than the Serra show for Examiner.com. As you say, that's got enough hype already. There's probably something else that really deserves your attention. The best weapon against inflated nonsense isn't snark. It's indifference.
