just in case you are totally out of the loop – while artlovers was undergoing a security check – thank you REV LUKE MURPHY !! – and is still disabled – JEFFREY DEITCH got a rather ‘un-noble’ send-off from NYC.<\/p>\n

that little dark spot above his left lip – which is actually blood-red in the digital archive but ‘auto-corrected’ by wordpress for some reason – and which I can’t override !! is actually a small fresh scar. what happened ?
\nrumors flew at the opening that Jeffrey had just socked someone or someone had just thrown a punch at him.
\nunable to to get any solid confirmation, and being that the scar was not visible in the published pix – I let it go.
\nbut here’s what really happened: caught first-hand on someone’s camera. apart from that absolutely gorgeous exclamation – “the last thing I needed” !! – was the fact that not one single drop of blood landed on that immaculate baby pink suit !!<\/p>\n

\n(gotta love not only the size of the hulking bad mannered brute (?) but those secret masonic symbols on his back – give me reality – over fiction, any day !!)<\/a><\/p>\n

the other blow to Jeffrey’s departing ego – and it’s surprising – considering that he has left quite a legacy behind in his wake – a fact no one can deny – is the send-off kiss-off – rather unfortunate, and sour review ROBERTA SMITH penned on the SHEPARD FAIREY show – Jeffrey’s final show – here. and so MR. COOL – or as we like to call him – JEFFREY D. – sets off for L.A. and hopefully, not into the sunset. Good-bye and Good Luck. we will miss ya. engaging personality aside – you brought a lot of great shows to the scene. thanks. <\/p>\n

my god, Roberta – haven’t you ever heard of: the Medium is the Message ??!!<\/p>\n

and, don’t ask me – I don’t know why – some New City critics can’t get over the the demise of Performance Art (proper) by Poster Art – which is surely a more popular – as in ‘mass communication’ and way less academic form of performance art – if you think about – for even a few seconds ??!!<\/p>\n

and while we are at – yes !! go see: BANKSY – ‘EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP’ !! – if you haven’t already.
\nmost definite drop that Nor-Eastern NYC art critic fueled – snobbishness – it is such a miss-out stand – and get yourself – to the big street par-tay !! it ain’t happening for naught !!
\nI would even venture to say BANKSY is his generation’s JULIAN SCHNABEL – and ‘EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP’ – is his – ‘BASQUIAT’ !!
\nI’m the last who wanted to admit it – being so NYC-centric – and someone who thought without having all the facts – I might add – that BANKSY was just one big sell-out and commercial hype. WRONG. the guy’s brilliant. period. JEFFREY shoulda screened it – as his parting shot . . . <\/p>\n

\"EXIT<\/p>\n

\"exit<\/p>\n

KATE and I caught it on our recent excursion to the homeland – up north – MONTREAL !!
\nwe both loved it. many times over.
\nthat scribble down the rightt hand side – ‘EN PRISON KRAFT FOODS’ – ha ha – that’s some ‘local’ as in Quebecois – graff color – or I guess that would be: couleur !!
\nas to who made, as in hand-knit – Kate’s great sweater – that would be – moi – of course.

\nbe there – or be: square.<\/p>\n
