Tyler Green over at
Modern Art Notes
is absolutely on fire with posts on the
Getty
and
Tomaselli.
I agree Tomaselli's work is likable but there is something so innocuous about
his work... I suppose its the difference between listening to Frank Zappa or Phish
covering Zappa. Something about the original was so much more threatening and
interesting and Tomaselli lacks that edge. It all seems relevant with MOCA's Exstacy
show and that whole
Drunk
vs. Stoned series of shows in New York. The question is, is all this escapism
part of the reason things got the way things are in the White House? Hans Ulrich
Obrist and Daniel Birnbaum have a show in Oslo about the
Uncertain
States of America that takes place this weekend... Portland's beloved
Matt
McCormick will be part of it. Yes he's in
my
show too.
