Congratulations to Big Mac Attack for being one of the only artists to come off well in this review of the Portland "Beeannal."

    I need to get out and see this Biennial, I keep putting it off. Who wants to go?

    thanks L/T. the WW review of the show was oddly similar.

    but these reviews, and their unfavorable review of the curation of Portland 2012, has got me thinking. they have criticized the show for it's 'lack of curatorial vision' but for big/regional survey shows like this don't you kind of want that? i mean, for something like Portland 2012 I want to see a sampling of the cities best and brightest artists, not some curators overly thought out concept. a good, high concept curated show is fine the rest of the time, but for these big group shows i say F it, pile in as many artists as you can and let the viewers have a buffet.

    I want to know everyone's drunk opinions...... Let's start a thread.
  • Dr_William_HaywardDr_William_Hayward
    I think only 300 something artists even applied this year, down from over 2-3?x that in the old biennal. The curator depended on studio visits more so than has been done in the past. Time consuming, but awesome.

    Critics will always find something to criticize, personal taste way rules over that.

    Maybe Frogtor could collaborate with Tanner Dobson?

    You guys! UHX drunk thread! Has this happened before? I think it's a great idea.

    I almost never get drunk because I'm a loser, but the other night I got a little tipsy and drunk blogged a quote from BM. He wasn't happy.
