It Just Seems Like We're Lazy

But we've really been busy bees--social fluttering, working, and a couple o' thangs on the presses.

First, from me, because, you know, I write the blog the mostest and I simply got here first: my latest art review.

And this excerpt is from a review written by Nick Malewski about Barry's Always Becoming Something at the Dolphin:

"Barry Anderson’s pair of archival inkjet prints, Always Becoming Something, is derived from his video (not on view) by the same name. Two long, narrow and horizontal images of young adults, hung side by side, show the expanse of what is experienced in the high-definition video as a slow, steady pan from left to right. The figures of varying ethnicity, in a sterile space without a horizon, at various distances from the camera, stand in place and face in numerous directions. Neither in the video, nor in the composite stills do the people seem to interact with or even notice one another. Their facial expressions are that of boredom, impatience and anticipation. Their implied lack of trajectory suggests that they are subjects caught in what Fredric Jameson calls “postmodern hyperspace,” which has “succeeded in transcending the capacities of the individual human body to locate itself.”2 Such a condition might evoke the recent development of Second Life, an Internet-based environment full of human-controlled avatars, together but alone, at times paralyzed in a space of boundless possibilities."
