      <![CDATA[@9: Amen.  seattlecontemporary is a bored troll who can't even be bothered to site examples of Jen's allegedly bad writing.  I guess it's meant to be self-evident.  What's more evident to me is seattlecontemporary's maniacal jealousy (repetitively posting week after week) and total lack of anything resembling critical chops or original content.  So, to borrow a phrase, stop writing, please, seattlecontemporary.  Just stop.  Or man up, write a review of your own, and sign your name to it, just like Jen does.

      <![CDATA[@seattlecomtemporary: There are only a handful of people who get paid to be art critics these days.  There are only slightly more people with the capacity to view, digest, and write about art sufficiently to merit being paid as art critics; those who can do so and have sufficiently thick skin to take abuse from people without the craft to formulate a constructive critique of that art criticism deserve those positions, in my opinion.  <br />
<br />
Whatever the reasons for your venomous views on how "people in Seattle don't appreciate art" (a false and bitter one) and towards Jen Graves' work (which people appreciate generally when it suits their egos), I think that your abuse is misdirected.  <br />
<br />
I encourage you, challenge you, to put a fraction of the focus and thought towards art that Jen has for years, to get off of your cynical, caustic behind, and to write something valuable.  If you feel any passion beyond the desire to be a jerk, I'm certain that you can find a worthwhile venue for some well-crafted thought.

      <![CDATA[Jesus f'n christ.  There are only a handful of people who get paid to be art critics in america these days.  Why in the world of insanely talented masterful weavers of words do you, Jen Graves, get this job?  This show is so great on pretty much every level, but reading your review has me just limp.  You wonder why people in Seattle don't appreciate art?  I'll tell you now, it's because you are so shitty at writing about it that there is zero interest.  Stop writing, please.  Just stop.

      <![CDATA[The Sierra has been shown at The Henry before-amazing as it is-as have some of the other pieces but the truth is there is just not that much show to swoon and crow about even though Graves is trying awfully hard to...and that session over the curator is nothing short of icky. Classic Jen and ultimately underwhelming and dull.
