  • I was in school with Storr in France in '68...he is right...it was everyone...across all socio-economic lines...

  • I am completely on board with Storr here. Good for him for holding his ground and not giving into Enwezor's manipulative bullying.

  • Okwui that is?

  • Did he rape???

  • Go Storr!

    What does it matter how old Enwezor was and where he was in May 1968? All that matters is that he didn't know what he was talking about in his "lecture". Is claiming he was a 5-year-old victim in Nigeria in 1968 supposed to testify to his "authenticity"? All it says is that he wasn't there, didn't think very hard about the world-wide revolutions of 1968 and doesn't care. He's a bully and a creep. Always has been and always will be. The art world however will keep rewarding him for it.

  • and one addendum: I spent over a year assisting my Senegalese companion and other friends with their shows at the anarchist radio station Radio Libertaire and have worked for hourly wages all my life as did my copains. Jet Setting international curators - could you try being more happy with your life of privilege now and work TOGETHER?

  • I wondered how this heated exchange in print in the pages of Artforum would continue in months and years to come. As someone particularly prone to guilt about the previous levels of political activism I had when young who now does formalist painting, this is painful to watch but I will say when I had Mr. Onwezor in my studio in grad school he wasn't too progressive about feminism or women.
