No m...I don't think the work was trying to be edgy. No more than a canvas with a bunch of erect pricks spewing the words " fuck you art collector" That artist does't even show there. It seems the context of the gallery ruins the intention of the work. So, if you saw the film at Zach Feuer's space or your bedroom, it would read differently to you? Mary pays the bills with the cotton-candy's of the world. I have a felling this show is not flying out the door. So kudos, to the old gal for using all that sweet money to finance a show that makes people scratch their heads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13886080.post-76620054190232245952008-02-01T13:16:00.000-05:002008-02-01T13:16:00.000-05:00I don't know, Anon.

I think that Mary Boone is at her absolute WORST when she's forcing the "edgy". I have a wide range of feelings about most of the artists in her stable (Ross Bleckner: Even when his work isn't that interesting I find it comforting to see someone painting so well. Hilary Harkness: I mean, seriously. Fuck YEAH! Peter Halley: I know I shouldn't like his paintings, but I do. Don't ask me why. Even I wouldn't wanna know. Barbara Kruger: God.), but I almost NEVER roll my eyes when I walk into her galleries. The only time the ocular upturn occurs is when she has shows like this one (Although I loved the half at Feuer.). And don't get me started on the month wasters that were her collaborative shows with Team. One of my biggest Chelsea eye rolls last year came when she put on that <A HREF="http://www.maryboonegallery.com/exhibitions/2007-2008/mir/index.html" REL="nofollow">Aleksandra Mir</A> show. Boring. Boring. Boring. Activity doesn't make for action, in my mind. Mary should stick with her eye. Not her head.Heart As Arenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976463596763794957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13886080.post-80340211794449547162008-01-31T18:54:00.000-05:002008-01-31T18:54:00.000-05:00That slaughter house scene was definitively a brea...That slaughter house scene was definitively a breath of fresh air in that stuffy gallery .
