Pissed off that the MCA's rock and art show Sympathy For The Devil includes only ONE! ...ONE! Chicago artist while pandering to the same tired group of 'Ren' approved usual suspects from both coasts yet again? The 'local' LA artists, and the 'local' NYC artists must be laughing their asses off as to what a bunch of patsies those complacent dupes in Chicago are-

Hell yea they will show in our city -how did they get known? Oh! Thats right, from LOCAL SUPPORT IN THEIR CITIES! But here, if the Art Institute or the MCA supports us, they run the risk of ghettoizing us, of being provincial......yea, right! And how does Chicago differ in this respect from either LA or NYC beyond having a bunch of visionless and spineless bureaucrats ensconsed in power here, desperately attempting to be 'with it' everywhere else?

I don’t know what this proves, but at this link you can take Time Out New York magazine's new quiz: "What's your New York age?" According to it, my own New York "age" is 28. And I’m 52. I think that upsets me. Am I too childish or something?

Erik Wenzel -local hipster extraordinaire/ purveyor of the art student as new bohemian blog Art Or Idiocy was the victim of a recent SHARK ATTACK!

I don't know where she got this image, but Anna B posted it to Swiss Art Sharkforum, saying she found it on the internet. Silly, but I thought you would enjoy it. An "art demonstration"? After the elections, one down, several more to go.


The Luftgucker

“What you make?” I knew she had me, I had been found out.

“I was just coming around by the Rodenberg when a panther sprang out of the woods and knocked me off my Velo.”

“You are a Luftgucker.”

“That means my head’s in the clouds?”

“Something like that.”

“No, it was a panther, I swear.” I didn’t want to tell her I had fallen in the full dazzle of light, in a fresh rain-washed sky, drinking in the sweet air… when Hans-Ruedi passed and honked; when waving back, regaining my attention too late to adjust, I hit the curb, spilling ass-over-teakettle in a heap up on the sidewalk. Disentangling myself from the bike, I was okay; not even shaken, really, with only a leaking silver-dollar sized strawberry on my elbow to show. The bike seemed fine. I wasn’t going very fast. But Edith would notice; that was for sure.

Just a little self-lampooning banner for Wesley (and Dave and Lynne). Although, yes, I take both this and my political blog below seriously too.

No, the Whale Shark cannot become a member of the sharkpack (in case the reader was unaware, we here at sharkforum all happen to belong to that elite category, often described as the cadillac of sharks -carcharodon carcharias -(the ragged toothed ones) and our slow moving, heavyweight friend simply can't swim fast enough to keep up with our svelte selves. Still, I thought it would be a nice thing for us to look past the pelagiac caste system for a moment to reach out and give our krill sucking, plankton loving pal a pat on the head and say 'job well done' for his fine interview of William Conger.......especially since he demonstrated the good sense to speak of The Shark in mostly glowing terms.....
