i took this photo last year from a gallery foyer somewhere in chelsea. okay, so here we go. this is my first (ever) day at blogging nyc.com school and like all first days i've ever had to endure i'm filled with a mixture of fear, trepidation and elation. I’ll try to move beyond that though and muster the courage to talk about interesting things. I just want to say right now that I have a love hate relationship with the art scene here in new york and will tend to rant on about it’s failings, unfairness and futility. So, what is it about the Chelsea gallery scene that fills me with absolute contempt? I don’t know exactly. I ask myself this frequently, and late last night between makers mark #3 and #4 I decided that there are too many fucking artists here in new york. There are too many artists in this country, period. I am one of those artists. So it is with a degree of self-loathing and contempt that I make such a comment.
