THE TEXAS BIENNIAL '05
March 7, 2005 - The Texas Biennial is hanging all
over Austin right now, and with all group shows, there's good and
bad, but I couldn't help but walking away impressed with what I saw.

WHY CHARITIES AND ART
NEVER MIX
OOPS I DID IT AGAIN!
February 25, 2005 - For the second time I
donated a painting to a charity and the whole experience left a bad
taste in my mouth. It's unfortunate, because its cool helping
out people and charities when they need it. Read all about
art

BRINGS DOWN THE ARTHOUSE
June 12, 2004 - "You artists", the critic panned the crowd

with that, Village Voice critic Jerry Saltz led the packed house at
the Arthouse on an hour and a half lecture on taste, art, and the
life of a critic. (more..) |
