"sad piece of bliss " is a beautiful statement that captures this moving installation.

Well folks, Labor Day has come and gone and now we start a new fresh season of art and culture here in Seattle highlighted by none other than miss 'Hen' Graves-angry ol'mother hen who scratches around our local art barnyard fiercely guarding her favorite baby art chicks from harm, all the while clucking and pecking at all who dare enter her domain or disagree. OH NOOOO! Not another year...not another bunch of...

YES!! i love you northwest mystic. I've been reading this Jen Graves for months giving her the benefit of the doubt until now. SHE SUCKS. She picked a generic flower garden as a Genius art award combined with the witless unintelligent commentary on previous art exhibits that shows complete unawareness of what art is and a cancerous growth in the seattle art community drowning out explorative interesting emerging art for overcautious crap. In an alternative news outlet that purports itself as a cutting edge and culture shifting to have Jen Graves as an art critic is abhorrent. Fuck you Jen you dissuade true artists.

Jen, do these snarly little people crawl out for every review you write, or did this particular review elicit these inarticulate whines?

I am personally grateful for your presence in Seattle and for The Stranger's willingness to acknowledge the visual arts in the city. The arts are stronger here because of your provocative inquiries. I appreciate your writing even when I disagree with you.

Thanks for continuing in spite of the detractors.

Please wait...
