After looking at these shows. It is obvious it takes absolutely no talent to be an artist. So, anybody with any talent pick up a brush now is the time.
The last time I saw a show at the Whitney I left angry because I felt it waste of money. I felt it was more about the curators ego's than artists work. There was a show (Matta Clarks)that was poorly presented, it was presented as dry as a bone. I saw the same show in LA a few months ago which made sense of what he was doing in a beautifuly human way.
read jerry saltz's review at artnet...... the conclusion............it's a great time to be a painter!!!!! pick up your brushes and take over the art world...........NOW IS THE TIME!!!!!!!
ok, i just saw this yesterday, the actual show. the whitney is no longer a survey of whats going on now, its just a curator(s) opinion. it always has been, but now its very obvious. i liked the show, kind of, but its no comprehensive survey. too much video, too much bad photography and an over emphasis on youth for youths sake. its a neat show, but no where near great.
James Kalm, the man with the balls. The slightly tilted camera angle, particularly when paired with the constructed installations, lends the Whitney a sense of the villain's lair from the Batman tv series.
the glass boxes were funny, i'm tired of big c-prints....some good artists, charles long is a good artist...you must have found a smooth attitude to glide through the whitney unnoticed, great job!
