hi meryl, it must be very difficult in new york right now with all the 'security' scare tactics and the government showing off its muscle. why i wonder are they flying inland so much over the flatiron building, after all the fleet is in the water. i think there is a plan to set people on edge as

I think the title has becom a generic ploy to involve the viewer. I recently had a show with no titles or labels to identify myself as the artist. If i were to title my works I believe i would write full paragraph, not to guide the viewer but to show how absurd titles have become. crispin __

Carol, what was your answer? Mine would be to number my works. Most people are looking for an "explanation" in verbal terms of a visual work. Most musicians and the other examples given have no problem titling something to aid the viewer in their quest (for verbal meaning) Myself, I don't wa

Now, Michael Ellis does have a point. What's the problem, in my humble opinion as a critic, as that the discourse that made painting exciting and culturally central at various points in recent cultural history is currently largely absent. I think Peter Schjeldahl and Dave Hickey and Libby Lumpkin
