Sometimes an artist is liked by every part of the food chain except other artists who dismiss them totally. Sometimes it's envy. Sometimes it's WTF?

kelli said...

things only Europeans can get away with: dry conceptual art, designer jeans, polyamory

oh ! DAY FOR NIGHT, - they used the same physical recognation of the surrounding space and awarness of the process of construction with the "what you see is what you see section" of Full House, - yum. comfort food.

Geddy Sibony, Dweezil Zappa, Sissel Kardel Harmony Korine.

Im working on my aphasia.

Jedi would be a good name.

Or Jeddediah. Ged for short.

Chastity. Charity. Honesty. Hope. Caine. Able. Hermes. Swatch.

Hi, I'm Swatch Sibony.
Nostradamus has a nice ring to it.

ok Im sorry. Gedi went to Brown University - might expalin it. Not sure why, for me, maybe its the academic miasma.

I really do get visually engaged with that great, raw FLOOR! It has a rough beauty that takes me completely away from the art part. But wait...could it be that the art itself makes that happen? Hmmm.... Naah.

I'll take Richard Tuttle over this.

I agree cross. Although I think the art acts as a sleight of hand that calls attention away from the floor. I rember looking at the floor a lot though. I wasnt really sure if it was the real floor. I almost cared. I liked the stone that said "members only" by the other dude. All that tromp l'oile and shit.

the floor at canada is really cool, and seboni has a cooler name than robert morris. wall to floor stuff bugs me, but it's tough to be casual and nonarbitrary at the same time. i'm still on the fence.

kalm james, we prefer posting multiple photos, although some readers prefer a single image. Anyway, these last two posts imply that they are sculptures and that's it - we are unsure that they deal with painters' problems.

ouch this kind of art hurts my head.
Am I missing something, can anyone explain this kind of stuff?

i find it kind of lame.

TOMPAC said...

Is the Gedi in Gedi Sibony like the Gedi in Gedi Lee (of Rush)?

What i have heard is that Gedi Lee's real name was Gary, but his Grandma, who was from the old country i guess, pronounced in Gedi.

comfort food for the whitney. go there.

kelli said...

other things aside from dry conceptual art only Europeans can do and still be cool: not tipping, snide superiority, backpacking, living with parents in twenties, sleeping with tourists, having bathroom attendents, reading books, greasy hair, religion

speedos--only europeans can wear speedos

jeff said...

this work would look good in a speedo while not tipping the waitress after making a snide remark.

triple diesel said...

Yes, speedos. Also, body odor.
