If you thought the Biennial was hell . . .

Went yesterday to see the Hellfest that is Banks Violette's new installation at the Whitney. Word! Violette hired Black Metal legend, Snorre Ruche, to do the soundtrack for the piece. I have to say that it's the best music I've heard by a murdering dumbass since Chuck Manson. Oh, wait. His music was unfuckingbearable. OK. I guess that the soundtrack for Untitled is the ONLY good music I've heard by a murderer (Actually, to be, um . . . fair . . . he was only an accomplice to a murder.). It's done well AND it's well-done like a burning church in Norway. Seriously, man. The sound of fire in your ears. Brilliant, but . . .

Kicking Satan's little red ass at the Met, Duccio's "Madonna and Child" . . .



Worth $50 million? You bet. It's like a thousand churches in a 11" x 8 1/4" frame. No Jesus bones here.

Amen.
