Are You Kidding?

There's nothing worse than elitist views in journalism, especially when it comes from people in New York who think there's nothing else, except New York. For example, in this article @ the Times, this journalist decided to throw this out there...

"Mocad, as everyone calls it, opened just over a year ago in a one-story former car dealership. Its current show, “Words Fail Me,” organized by the New York artist and curator Matthew Higgs, explores language as a visual-art medium that is also directly linked to poetry. Most of the 16 artists included are familiar names in New York. I wondered if they would look out of place in Detroit, but they don’t."

I can't even to begin to critique the last sentence of that statement. Stick to the review of the DIA, avoid the condescending, ignorant bull.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one "Billy Lantern". What's your story anyways, where do you live and what do you do that informs you to the point of poor judgement?

How is that condescending. I just saw a photograph taken by a west coast artist, obviously of L.A. or some similar area, in a show in Chicago in the middle of fuck cold winter and it seemed out of place. It didn't make sense displayed in this world at this time.

Whether NY based text artists would jive in Detroit (where one never sees text based art) is a legitimate question.

Does text art work in it's airy philosophical form within the context of a visceral poverty stricken city?

Once again, it's a good question.

Curtis I definitely see your point. Certain styles of work can certainly look out of place at certain locations. However, as a journalist from New York, working for the times and writing an article about the DIA, I'm upset with the way he chose to bring in a little jab elsewhere- at the MOCAD. Its the way in which he stated it- about "New York" work looking out of place, like thats the only city producing relevant work, and surely it would not fit in a culture-voided city like Detroit. Had he said something about a certain style, about a certain movement, I probably wouldn't have picked up on it. I personally felt that it was his chance of looking down on the city while reviewing the re-open, from hi-atop his "New York is Art" throne....

Again, its all opinion I suppose.

Hi everyone, I am Jesus Mckinney from Texas and I just want to say a very resounding thank you to Financial loan services from Pedro Jerome for their sincerity, Openness, Transparency, Truthfulness, Love and support during and after getting loan funds from them. I have been through a lot and time won’t permit me to say all that I went through online in the guest or getting a loan funds to get a home here in USA but God answered my prayers through the support and love from Mr, Pedro who embraced me and understood me despite my initial doubt and unseriousness and with his good heart and love I am now a home owner through his 2% interest rate loan funds and I have vow to spread this news and also tell the world that there are still genuine and few good online loan firms out there that can assist and also revive a dry bone.

Don’t fail to listen and read this testimony because this is a true life changing experience and anyone that needs this kind of turn around should not hesitate or doubt this because I have proven and I swear to God in Heaven that this story is real and also the story of my experience with them .
