New show—opening party tomorrow. Interesting: King is a prof at Virginia Commonwealth U., alma mater of Tara Donovan. And lately I’ve seen quite a few solid artists coming out of there. Today’s art world is too wooly to imagine an “avant garde” school breaking out from the wilds—but VCU’s recent hits remind me of Black Mountain College in North Carolina, famous for breeding just about every genius of the 1960s: Merce Cunningham, Robert Rauchenburg, John Cage, and Buckminster Fuller, to name a few.
