review this
(my "Reader Review" from Washington Post Online-these Reader Reviews are wild-they are very, very public. If you keep your comments within reason a posted review has all the makings of a Guerilla Bill Board Takeover-by posting the following I hope I have flamed 'anonymous' a lot and Blake Gopnik a little (give that guy more to think about than relevance)

So what are we reviewing here? The artist, the Post critic Gopnik, the questionable existence of painting? Give me a break! Richter IS a master, his work IS interesting and his influence has been far reaching in his time, evident by all this talk by Gopnik about the freakin' Baader-Meinhof. The actual set up of THE SHOW at the Hirshhorn is what is on the block here, and the hanging is pale compared to Storr's vision at MOMA last year. Storr knows Art and the Artist-the Hirshhorn knows the Sunday museum goer. So if you care about art on more than the weekends, don't expect an epiphany from DC's curatorial offering.

Sigh, I do not seem to have gotten a rise out of anyone over this Ducksauce piece, and on the outside this 'conversation journal' between Ian & I is slow as molasses.

No one seems to be talking more than usual about the Richter show that has been open for more than a month already. Oh, there was the Sunday Wash Post review by Blake Gopnik where he references his previous review of this show at MOMA. I just posted my own review on WP online after seeing this piece of crapulence:

which is a 4 star anonymous reader review at the bottom of the page painting on trial - pfffft come on. If all of these types got their head out of the education system MAYBE THEY WOULD LEARN SOMETHING!
tag, Ian, I believe you were going to say something about our Richter sow, I mean show.

#1 Ian didn't post this entry, Karen did. I have to get used to this team thing.



#2 So it took me forever to make this Ducksauce thing coherent, sorry. While the Ducksauce post went live on 4/8/03, I posted it with the original date of my first draft on 3/3, for my own selfish purposed of tracking how long I stay obsessed with this idea.
