Baby Sloth [YouTube]
Unrelated to baby sloths: I was recently invited by another blog to do some critical writing for it. I was flattered by the request but replied that I was mainly focused on my own art and music and wasn't really doing reviewing outside my own domain. (My FAQ page sort of explains why--art world damage.) I said I was happy to have anything on this page reblogged, so it wasn't really a no. The person who emailed definitely took it as a "no," though. There is much good writing about art on the Net (as well as crap) that's yours for the asking--I don't know why it should have to "originate" on the site that publishes it. What's wrong with a collage of writing? Kathy Acker-like. Some blog items don't get picked up because they're too "controversial" (woo, scary). I appreciate someone "having my back" occasionally, as they say in the Army, when I go out on a limb and...express an opinion. Paddy Johnson could probably use a pat for daring to... have guts. (She called Queen Roberta a bad writer! No one in the New York art world ever stands up to the Queen and Jer.)
