This looks a bit like how I look after a solid week’s worth of this year’s art fairs, socializing out on the town, and gallery-hopping. All of it was entertaining. Not a lot of it was particularly memorable, and there was definitely the sense that galleries were playing it safe by offering more concrete, tangible works. There were few over-the-top installations and I noticed that photography and video also seemed scarce. Most media were outnumbered by drawings, and animal/bird/taxidermy-derivative work was everywhere, which makes me nervous. But everything makes me nervous so that’s OK.

This is the newest addition to my collection of all that is sick and wrong. OK, well, it has set the bar a little higher than the assortment of bones and skulls I already have, and therefore might actually be the FIRST addition to a collection of that which is sick and wrong. It is stultifying how much I love this.
