Loretta Lynn-Van Lear Rose.
Loretta is a stronger singer, better writer and more complex personae here then i have seen in a long time–she seems happier too. It would have been an almost perfect album, if it wasn’t for a bukkake of Jack W[…]

Gretchen Williams–Redneck Woman
Gretchen Williams pretends to be the post feminist woman that all the boys want to fuck and all the girls want to be… a half camp figure, but with some serious messages as well. She wants to connect class t[…]

So there is a website out there; it shows all of the images that Lichenstein cribbed his famous images from, and its making me rethink the whole comic book/benday dot thing.
I thought that the big and important thing about Lichenstein was his restru[…]

I don?t know if it?s just me, but these pictures look like anything you?d see Madonna or Britney Spears do on stage. I mean, this is something you can see at Lincoln Center for an NEA grant. Rush Limbaugh

The Wilkinsons-LA
Its about a girl whose boy has gone to Los Angeles,
with Prada stores and electric cars, and about the
worries that correspond to that move–namely “I don’t want to

Zaha Hadid Rules !
The thing with Zaha Hadid is that she does not do much theory, or the theory she does is a bout buildings and not cities. Her buildings are about the logical extensions of material and form–so radical in many ways that she is[…]

The Whitney Biennale
Mostly conservative, mostly concerned with issues of representation, mostly about things on walls, with some installations and films to balance things out. Refreshing in how old fashioned it is, and in many ways, interesting in […]
