Yeah, yeah. I haven't blogged in, like, forever. What can I say? I'm a spree blogger.
I read something today that made me really want to barf... I mean, blog. It's an example of the gobbledy-gook art speak that permeates too much of the contemporary scene. It alienates the crap out of me and I know that I am not alone in this view.
Here it is in its entirety. I'll let readers reach their own conclusion.
FRIDAY, MAY 4 AT 12:30PM
Angela Grauerholz's Reading Room for the Artist at Work is a partial reconstruction of Alexandr Rodchenko's Reading Room of the USSR Workers' Club (1925). In it, Grauerholz inserts a dozen artists' books and a film montage in which she privileges cross-disciplinary lines of interpretation and passages between the fragmentary and disparate elements of modern culture. In lieu of propaganda, Grauerholz emphasizes open-ended systems of thought and the inventiveness of multiple readings anchored in dialogue and play.
