it's past over


on the case

"These works make you wonder if Bush is familiar with Jasper Johns’s “Seasons,” where each of the four paintings is shadowed by a male, seemingly unclothed silhouette, or Pierre Bonnard’s strangely chaste, luminous paintings of his wife reclining in a bathtub." - R. Smith

Please sign my ipetition to make this be a bad dream.


LAID TO REST

("These days the art world blogosphere produces so much of its own smug, semi-informed, provincial snark that it is hard for Mr. Safer’s to stand out." - R. Smith)

people talk about casualism and provisionalism but nobody ever talks about wabi sabi.
