A person who appears to be ambling aimlessly, but is secretly in search of adventure.

Hatchet job


Kriston Capps wrote a review of Collectors Select for the City Paper last week. I think he missed the mark by a wide swath but I didn't want to be whiny and complain so held back on commenting. Thanks much to Jeffry Cudlin who writes Hatchets and Skewers for setting things straight. And thanks also to Richard Gould for his insightful comments. Hope everyone will come out to the Arlington Art Center Friday night for Wreckfest@Tiffany's to see what all the fuss is about!

UPDATE:
Lenny has jumped into the fray here!

Capps' standard M.O. seems to be that he gives himself more credit than artists or curators. He frequently assesses a show based on his first reaction and assumes the artist/curator has not questioned their own work. Perhaps by giving these people a little more credit, he will challenge his own way of thinking.
