\nSEPT 20 – NOV 3, 2007<\/p>\n

. . . ‘DEVIL’S PIE’ – not !!!! the show’s nowhere close to as black, forbidden & exciting as the title.
\n.. if that’s what it means to see an artist…”thinking” – we’re doomed – though everybody had a few favorites – esp the large painting – above. some found the $50 book- ‘AFROMUSES’ – displayed on the galleries bookcases – on the way out – to be the only real evidence of why this show was supposed to be “newsworthy”.
\nsome artists take success and make a run for it – is it too obvious to contrast the stellar route of KARA WALKER’S work & career – some hit big money & fame – and can’t think clearly enough to evolve or change the formula – if, that’s what they want to do – it’s good to steer clear of a career\/formula rut – but hopefully – in an upwards direction. bottomline – the boy lost his edge.<\/p>\n
