OK then, seems the art world has learned nothing since my last post.
This is the second invite I've recieved from Station Museum. Last one was preelection and teemed with righteous indignation (and realy crappy propoganda oriented 'art'). Missed that opening. Damn.
So here's the new invite. For a show named Red Fall II.
THis piece is intringuingly titled 'Home Land Security'. There's layer of nuance in this image, don't you think? Skill wise it's OK I guess. This is a linotype print, roughly 17 x 20 by Mr. Mock. No. I'm not joking. Mr. Mock. (Note to self. See If www.mrmock is available in any form).
Yeah, this is the type of thing I want to purchase for display in my home. This is the type of art I wish to support. Well, no, it's not. It's childish in content. Juvenile. A political cartoonist can do far more with far less effort (and with much more impact) than this. I am curious though. This is a gallery, so I'm sure a lot of this um, er, 'art' is for sale. What do you think the going price for this thing is? My guess is $750.00. Since the space is so close to the Mad Oilman Compound and it's open on Sunday, maybe it would be educational to see what happens at this place. Meet the neighbors, as it were.
Report to follow tomorow.
