Sometimes I wonder…

Academia is riddled with contradictions about power, so this comes as no surprise, to me at least.

I have seen many amazing one-person gallery shows since the 1980s (and the 1970s as a kid) that did not have a β€˜curator.’

Now it seems as if it is mandatory for one-person gallery shows to have a curator.

I think that the best one-person gallery shows are β€˜curated’ by the artists themselves.

Clay Travis has sh*t for brains.
Although this is an insult to sh*t.

Soon Trump will be bullying the Iranian regime into buying American-made cars.

I added some text to this image.

RIP Pope Francis.

(I think β€œthey” is an appropriate pronoun for God… since people believe in different Gods, and so there are also multiple, various, plural versions of God… God’s β€˜identity’ is complex)

The deeper political problem is that the majority of voters caught the Trump virus.
