Review of current show
Our review is out....
I recommend reading it twice, as there are preliminary commentary that may lead one to think that this reviewer is really bashing the show.
On the contrary, he is making points about Bubble Gum art, kitsch & craft materials -but the underbelly is a note that there IS more than meets the eye with these 2 artists work.
The work is described somewhat out of context, without specific historical intentions that is explained in our press release. This is mildly frustrating from a curatorial standpoint, but fine nonetheless, seeing as how freedom of speech is the same principle that enables the show to be hung in the first place.
I did want to clear up some confusion in the article, which has a literary note toward Katy Bowen's "Quanset Hut Gift Shop" & pointed toward Oldenburg's "The Store"... Although Katy's Gift Shop is genius & a project I LOVE, it is not work that we are showing here today - April 22.
Here is the article:

Dear Leora Lutz,
I just want to say, as an objective reader, that I thought it was a very fine article and it made me very curious about the show. I wouldn't worry about any bashing effect at all.
Oh I didn't think they were bashing, I just wanted to show the points that were incorrect.

besides, I do use the phrase, "On the contrary" - which means that I know he was not bashing the show...
