SNEERING!!

"Well, right now, THE THING is information-based art. Coupled with a sneering disdain for the visual, it’s been THE THING with curators and academicians for many years—at least as pervasive as AbEx was in Rosenquist’s student days. And while I don’t know that the next THING will be painting or analog photography, I don’t know that it won’t be, either."

From Carol Diehl's Art Vent

Some Curators Clearly Prefer Reading to Looking.

From "Two Coats of Paint":
" In a recent review blasting the New Museum's text-heavy international survey "The Ungovernables," Jerry Saltz adds a parenthetical note to curators:

"Just once, please, I wish someone would take a stand and say, "I don't like painting," then not include any in his or her show. One token painter is worse than none."

Or, better yet, we wonder, why not add a second (and third and fourth) painter so that painting is a bigger part of the mix? But Saltz is right--some curators clearly prefer reading to looking."

Well said.
