<\/a>\nok, when you were stunned enough by the THOMAS DEMAND ‘disaster’ show – at MATTHEW MARKS on W 22 in Chelsea, last Spring 2012 . . . you might have looked around, when you returned to the street to . . . to find your current bearings. am I safe ?<\/p>\n
I mean I’m into ‘skills’ – and Jerry is NOT. but I did get close enough to check out the materials. meanwhile the New York Times is playing it on the low ball: ‘Drought Takes a Toll Across the U.S. – The drought is expected to worsen’ . . ‘Weather takes Toll on Food Prices as Crisis spreads across the Nation’. and heads up !! all you graphic designers – and ‘info’ font specialists !!<\/a>
\nwhat the F ?
\nHELP ME JERRY ?
\nas in Jerry Saltz ? the art critic \/ truck driver ?<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nnow that’s what I call – one salty . . . mother of an S.O.S. !!
\nI didn’t know whether . . . to laugh, or cry.
\nand yes. I WAS jealous . . .
\nbut on the other hand, mine would prob say: FUCK YOU NANCY.
\nlife is SO unfair. <\/p>\n
\nI called alot of artists when they were completely off the charts, or just on the nano nancy charts !! – and it took years for the lightbulb to go off in Jerry’s head – if ever, to catch up. give an example: JOE BRADLEY.
\nI mean I did coin the phrase: pass the saltz – as in SKIP !!
\nbut ok, if he got this – he must have done something to deserve it.
\nthough I (obviously) still haven’t (ala NORA EPHRON) forgiven him for trashing, and derailing bye the way !! that great psychedelic MIKE PARE show – at ATM years ago. <\/p>\n
\nlooks like some kind of super heavy ‘lego’ toy building blocks . . . like the size they might make for the pre-K \/ kindergarten set ?
\nnice. really well glued down too. neon.
\ndamn, I’m jealous. S.O.S. JERRY – YOU’RE IMMORTAL !!<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nin fact – he was in great company too. the whole was was great. damn. damn. damn. the future !!
\nand ha.
\nkudos to DAN ASHER and ALEXANDER McQUEEN – future cops gonna be underwater (!!) Japanese babies riding . . . sea ‘horses’ !!
\nHushpuppy meets Hello kitty ?<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nall the street graff & lego & wheat paste and making Jerry famous action – is taking place around the Chelsea landmark COMME DES GARCONS store. designed in 1998-1999 by FUTURE SYSTEMS – it’s still one of the most beautiful and mysterious and future-looking sites in the whole god damn city, more than 10 years later !!
