CHARLIE FINCH, what the hell were you thinking . . .”Post-boom, the contemporary art season has reverted to its traditional school-year trajectory of September to June … “summing up the season”\/artnet<\/a><\/p>\n

it’s turning out to be the biggest scariest summer on record – what with the big oil spill – and it’s moving Atlantic coast ways, guys – and the wipe-out here at home – tech-wise on artlovers !! at least I’m not gushing oil into the global oceans – but it’s funny – it’s kind of the inverse tragedy – due to tech deepwaters – aka server upgrade – I’m losing the ability to maintain my archives – at least to open public access on the web !! can we call that the inverse of pollution ? I think so. the very REV LUKE MURPHY – has just managed to keep a small stream of internet juice open to my photos & text !! but at least I have<\/em> a PLAN B !! – I just don’t have the corporate dough – to do it all at once. . . those guys – supposedly the biggest brains in the world among them ?? – can’t fix their toxic black water disaster – for love or money. . . and the art world sure ain’t sleeping through it – its just picking up the beat – harder, faster and hotter – than the sleepy town – you’d have thunk NYC – to be – without me !! from one of the (now !!) biggest Manhattan galleries – GAVIN BROWN’S ENTERPRISE – to the lowliest of the newest Brooklyn artist-run gallery collectives – LOUIS V. E.S.P. – scary innovation scenarios – are – the cutting edge !! welcome to the scary angry, but way COOL !! new world. the SHEPARD FAIREY – MAYDAY call – is done and over – and there is no fix in site – reality has set in – and it’s one big bad MOEBIUS global moment – welcome to the future. summer 2010. and the art scene in NYC – sleepy and over – ? – it sure as hell ain’t !!
\nthe medium is the message, and the message is: it’s a brave new world – get with it !! ya gotta be super smart. scrambled but scary-good. with messed-up black waters in the cultural consciousness – everybody’s gotta aim green !! the artists gotta be quick on their feet if they want to be relevant – and the gallerists – have to be so so right on. everything is crucial. everything is performance art. all gallery space is performance and performance art is dead. trivial tripping, hello P.S. 1 – is so – not there. been there, done that – over.<\/p>\n

the summer heat starts at GBE !!
