view from inside, recreating a writer's room from the 50's, down to the tiniest details, except maybe Kenny & Boris are of the first generation, NOT to realize that, that, yes, there was a time when STAPLES did NOT exist. maybe the paper would have been from WOOLWORTH's!!!

the pseudo door at the other end, the viewer couldn't really grasp all the details from inside the gallery vantage point, but rather as you peered in, and moved your eyes around, you could intuit the depth of the details, KENNY KOMER & BORIS RASIN, 'Sub:urban(WRITER'S BLOCK)', CAPSULE, Sept 15, 2005

Mike Pare opens: 'blissed out', the gallery walls were not just painted orange, they were actually covered with paper, painted orange, which cast a vivid hue/glow/or/vibe, however you want to term it, which amped up the whole show, & the show itself, struck a chord that was much more than purely visual, atm, Sept 8, 2005
