Final Review was yesterday…Tony Labat, Jon Rubin, and let’s call him, Mr. X.

I took a cab and set up rather quickly, when I didi so I had the Pops video in the left corner, followed L to R, California Home Koi, the installation rendering, and then to the right was the Hypermodern Anaglyph in Negative Space maquette. After the folks looked around, I asked if they would like to see a section of YUK…this was a mistake, as it totally dominated the conversation of the other two reviewers besides TL who hadn’t seen it.

They spoke of irony, and sincerity, and questioned them…and as always Warhol came up. I successfully defended myself, though a few times I felt that the statement was mis-interpreted to mean “I use computers for everything.”

If one really reads it it’s ” touched by some aspect of mediation through the mechanical or digital” which means ANALOG is fine too…

I still will make art no matter what (more or less)…
