I was once told by an editor in Virginia that my arts coverage was too
positive. Thus directed to amend this, I took critical aim at a generally
harmless gallery, and still feel remorseful over this:
“ Bozart (gallery) is an easy mark for an art critic, with
its moldering hippie aesthetic, zen pretensions, and co-optation of indigenous
people’s cosmology; a free-expression touting boutique of banality. So why
bother confronting something so seemingly benign? Blame a strongly averse
reaction to the title of this month’s show, “Functional Epiphany”- a dissonant,
paradoxical concept that elevates the saleable over the seminal, simultaneously
cheapening the idea of profound experience…” Regrettably, I went on. link
