The Missus and I caught last call at the Guggenheim Museum’s “The Great Upheaval: Modern Art From the Guggenheim Collection, 1910-1918.” (Sorry, no links or graphics – I’m iPadlocked.)
Some critics dismissed it as a mere basement-and-attic exhibit, but we thought it was pretty good. And we couldn’t help but notice that you couldn’t spit without hitting a manifesto from each -ism (Rayism, Suprematism, Orphism, Blue Riderism, and etc.).
So we decided to formulate the CARTON Manifesto (from CARroll/sutTON), whose main mission is to Create Inside The Box and eliminate video art altogether.
Call it Unreelism.
Details to come.
You know what they say about beauty and the eye of the beholder, yadda, yadda, yadda. Just because some blue nose, or should I say psychedelic nose (modern art and all) doesn’t approve of it, it doesn’t necessarily follow that it’s a bad exhibit, or a yard sale one, either. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks, Al.
