Oh a curatorial final four, although a lot of interesting curators are missing; Robert Storr, Phillipe Vergne (who missed the boat by not visiting Portland for the last Whitney Biennial show) and Michael Darling?... why not add in Tobias Meyer for sheer lunacy?

I pick:

Lynne Cooke, Paul Schimmel, Thelma Golden (Whitney Biennial coming up, maybe it will be a relevant one) and Hans Ulrich Obrist (who openly acknowledges that artist curated clusters easily out pace curatorially defined constructs... which is what you find in Portland but you just cant ask one curator who to see)

Tyler Green has picks too (dude no way can Higgs take Bonami ... sorry Matthew you are too much of a "dry" specialist to win this corrupt bourgeois competition)
