ZZZZ...SO BORING, Jen, so DAMN boring.

Oh and p.s.
Any update in the SAM/EBSWORTH
STORY? You must be chickens**t to
take it on.

SO uninteresting Jen. Do you REALLY have nothing else to bring to the table than this drudge?? And this gets 14 hits with NONE of them have anything interesting or worthy to say about the "art"...UGH! Can't you come up with something compelling and stylish that's happening in the NW Art world-wasting SLOG space on unworthy art and artists is YOU not doing your JOB! Art funding? Ebsworth's Warhol "disappointment"? BTW-a rumored $20 million profit is not too shabby in my book, but it is not interesting WHY he didn't get 10-30 million more-please!), Art students "talk" tonight"? COME ON GRAVES! Ever REALLY look a the influence of African Art on African American artists instead of stupidly commenting on the fact that "it's everywhere these days"(especially when the Katherine White/SAM collection is one of the strongest collections that exists) Wasn't it first Thursday last week? Ever do a studio visit? Ever try focusing on outlying regional artists, craftspeople, or interviewing young artists? What DO YOU DO??? This week was a call in and a loser! And that makes you a loser at your job-straight up! Maybe if you were interested in art instead of "cultural cool" you'd have more passion in your column and your writing.

excellent piece. and to use some illustrative language and the cap lock key : RELEVANT, INTERESTING, thought-provoking, critical writing! ! ! ! I SLAM MY FIST ON KEYBOARD WITH CONVICTION!

sounds like a back pedal to me...

Why is it Ms. Graves that you've failed to mention the great George Tsutakawa's centennial exhibition and his son Gerard's exhibition at the Woodside Braseth Gallery? Seems like you've got a real chip on yer ol' shoulder pad about them (as I never hear anything about any of their shows in your column) and the northwest school as well (BTW- a GREAT movement that is getting more and more recognition outside of the NW with scholars and exhibitions-See Guggenheim's East Meets West,etc.).How is this fair or appropriate for you to shamelessly bypass this show and others when you are eating crow about the terrible and un-hip Henry show you didn't like(due to outside pressures obviously) and posting aimlessly about all this crap? And don't EVEN cop that amateur angle about the "modern", "The Right Now","the contemporary moment" cuz it doesn't float . GOOD IS GOOD-period-then AND now-and George Tsutakawa is that-GREAT. You also embarrassingly skipped over the incredible Mike Spafford monumental piece at Greg Kucera's on the last worst Thursday and it was THE talked about piece of the night (the hipsters included-a rediscovery of sorts). Not to mention the Alden Mason show at Foster White (SAM show as well), etc. etc. What is with you Graves???? What is your problem? Isn't there anyone out there who can do this job justice??? I PRAY the Weekly will get a "Jen Graves" in place that would really make you work and keep you on your toes. You have your place because of what isn't out there to illuminate your weakness.

warmth,

Dead horse, meet HB. Don't worry about what's in his hand, you won't feel a thing. Because you're dead.

God this HB troll is so tiresome.

HB---if you have so much to say, get your own damn blog.

Ohhhhh, but you really don't have anything to say, you just have a thing about slamming Jen. And you clearly don't have any real place in the arts here or you'd be out doing your thing instead of pissing all over everyone else.

You are boorish, obnoxious, pointless, overbearing, a blowhard, self-important.....I could go on, but frankly you're a bore. I see your signature and skip right past.

Is that what you were hoping for? To be ignored?

ms. graves, if you have not already had the pleasure, please take a guided tour at the henry. i think perhaps you need a lesson in looking at art.

dear ms. graves,

if you have not already had the pleasure, i highly suggest you take a guided tour at the henry. it seems you need a lesson in looking at art.

i was not impressed by the Image Transfer exhibition. however, there are some interesting elements that you disregarded and invalidated with your article.

by all means, please continue to do your job as an art critic but try not to ruin it for everyone else.

love,

"Eric F"-you are SO RIGHT!...and Ms Graves is one of the cult that slaughtered the horse standing around that carcass. Oh-and "attitude deviant"you are ridiculous and sound like a 12 year old mean girl.

HB, I remain unimpressed. Indeed, you underscore my point: you seem to be unable to offer any real point of view other than to criticize others in a patently content-free fashion. If you have something to say, say it. But you seem to have nothing to say; you just want to hide behind your anonymity and take potshots.

Since you take aim at my screen name (which you clearly do not understand, so you fall back on your metier and smear it----or do you think I actually meant "deviant," and can't spell?), I'll ask you a question about yours: do you mean to say "guerilla?" Or are you a large hairy primate, misunderstood by all and sundry, in love with your muse (played by Fay Wray), climbing the space needle to swat at all those annoying critics. Hmmmm?
