a lovely rant sent to me 9/13/10

No need to explain your views, as your writing does that. It just brought back the question as to when art becomes entertainment. Regarding the dots, a strategy: Make something to sell the monied masses that can't stand to live with most of my stuff but still give them that much needed label to be able to say they have one. Otherwise why aren't we talking about those paintings in relation to Kusuma or Bridget Riley? Just old fashion geometric abstraction. Like admitting that Close is just old fashion super realism. All this conceptual construct to hide behind mediocrity or desperate sensationalism. Not asking for answers, just seeing a big blurr in everything ending up being about $$. Like the USA only talking about how much the movie made, not what it was about, good, bad or boring. But you know this. Anyway, got your essay on Thek in the big book. Hope England is more fun.
