Are you going to link to the thread where you called joester a SNAG? That was a favourite of mine.
Abstraction and the avant garde aside: I can't comprehend this Terminal 5 event, despite all the good links and chat at Schwarz. How does a youngster curator manage to pull off a gig like this: Vanessa Beecroft, Jenny Holzer, massively high profile and challenging exhibition space....and does this apparent schism actually have anything to do with the party getting rowdy? It's not really party-planning skills that we normally expect from seasoned curators, but rather critical context and the pullin' of financial strings for flashy catalogues and such. And why do the media not seem to notice that these are freakin' major artists? And how rowdy was it? Grrr! It's so surreal. See this quote from thread at Archinet:
"On a guilty note, I admit that I was one of the people smoking at the Friday party. I assumed (wrongly) that this was part of the 60's revivalism... remembering the days when we blessed smokers could do our deed indoors."
wha? artists smoking? halp halp. These people need a dose of Survival Research Lab to get things in perspective!
