oh. oh. oh !!<\/p>\n

FILE THIS UNDER: WHAT GOES AROUND – COMES AROUND – LIKE BLOW-BACK VOMIT – IN YOUR FACE !!<\/p>\n

aka WHERE THERE’S SMOKE – THERE’S (USUALLY) FIRE !!<\/p>\n

It’s not so much that it’s mean-spirited, though it has its share of sour grapes, NOR !! .. is it making a case for gallerists to start making their employees sign – confidentiality agreements !!<\/p>\n

as much as it seems to be forum & only<\/em> resort – for those who’ve been ripped off – or got bounced checks.
\nit’s a toss-up who uses it more – pissed off artists who are owed for work that was sold – and sometimes can never collect !!
\n. . . and gallery workers who issue warnings about galleries that make you wait forever to get paid, or worse bounce checks, or worse – are trust fund entitled snobs – who treat you like dirt !! !!<\/p>\n

BECKY SMITH of BELLWETHER seems to have accrued the most comments – 20.<\/p>\n

JACK THE PELICAN, and FREIGHT+VOLUME are UP IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, too.
\nand, 303 seems to have attracted a super ferocious – anonymous – web foe !!<\/p>\n

THE WORST PUT-DOWN & ONE WE FEEL FREE TO HIGHLIGHT – AND VOUCH FOR – WITH 100% CERTAINTY – FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE – FROM HIS EARLIEST OPENINGS – & – WE HAVE NEVER WALKED – INTO THE SPACE – SINCE – !! – IS THE BITTER ONE – MICHAEL STEINBERG – HAS GARNERED.<\/p>\n

so if that makes the other stuff credible – so be it !!
\nthough obviously – there are just some sore losers in the mix, so don’t take it all at face value !!<\/p>\n

the wish-washy takes on critics and curators – is the weak point.<\/p>\n

the best rumor so far ?? !! – posted JUNE 7\/2008 – by anonymous – “i hear nates leaving her” !!
\nwith her<\/em> – being – MICHELE MACCARONE !!<\/p>\n

the YouTube offering at the top of the DEATHWATCH – is the most brilliant touch !! <\/p>\n

so, ladies & gentlemen of the stodgey, street smart, unformed, or just plain uninformed, informed, inspired and wannabes !! – for better, or worse – I give you the link to the ratworld’s – oops, typo !!! I mean artworld’s dirty little secret – but one that, has everybody – on their toes !!<\/p>\n

see: HOW’S MY DEALING !!!<\/a><\/p>\n

and don’t miss the soundtrack – to their ‘DEATHWATCH’ – hit that FORWARD\/ARROW – on their<\/em> site, dumb-ass !!<\/p>\n
