Rick-
I actually don’t hide behind any jargon I just present my visions as they are… you get what you see. honestly I just have a love affair with these materials and have let my work speak for itself. I don’t rely on any artspeak to validate my artwork- artwork needs to be visually engaging- first and foremost.– importance, discourse, dialog that is for audience to hash out. Anyway I am not trying to sell you one or sculptures or convince you to pay me some attention.
There is a lot of crap out there and really interesting contemporary art comes from artists putting out their excrement digested from our contemporary life.

do you actually like any contemporary artists? do have any art hanging in your home?

Puh-leeze. The strong reaction wasn’t to the infinite depths of your art, but rather the nit-wit rationalization of it. Your art simply makes me yawn–Sculpturally drab, spatially simple minded.

Oh and I should have said “makes people hate contemporary art.” I mean, jargon and non-sense are really what make stomachs turn. Curators and artists both hide behind it too much, and they should get called out for it.

Dear “Zone”–You make terrible art. Whoa it’s styrofoam! WACKY! So. Much. Meaning. And florescent lights! Haven’t seen that one before. Let’s get the MoMA trustees on the horn!

The brainless pretentiousness of your “dogma” is why people hate art. Also, “purveying” is a verb, not an adjective. And anyway, you can’t purvey an interest. No idea what you were going for there.

flattered to be included in your blog
but I have purveying interest and dogma that transcends my initial inspiration of scifi and styrofoam to a discourse on our contemporary life fueled by the need of technology and immediacy of consumption.

thanks
