The fumes of oil paint fill the air and a large group of
people in the gallery make the cluttered space feel that much more claustrophobic
when I viewed this show. The
paintings on the wall are simply lost as the presence of the objects in varied
states of decay scattered in mounds overwhelm the senses. I am guilty too of
using clutter and stuffed animals in my sculptures but with the death of Mike
Kelley still in my head I couldn’t help but being overly critical of the
show. Go for you self take a look
and contemplate is this where art should still be?
