Hi Gretta,

What a soulless slug this person must be.

This is what I hate about the art world, and sadly - certain aspects of media 
art culture has shifted towards this direction, more than ever now.

It's a double bind for artists -- to get a show one has to be nice to some of 
these assholes, or end up becoming like them, and this means they can get away 
with a lot nonsense.

Wishing you well.
