"Greater New York?" More like "Greater Continuing Ed National Masters Degree Salon Thesis Show"*

According to protesters outside of PS1 on Sunday, only 33% of the Greater New York artists were women. To me, a lot of the more memorable art was genderqueer, although there was some interesting Sculpture Jock** stuff...the mechanized drum-beating-record-scratching installation that I couldn't get close enough to read the accompanying placard and Matthew Day Jackson's "Sepulcher."

Anyhow, today's featured scribbling from my notes: The sinister imagery and the POV of Anna Conway's oils remind me a bit of early 19th-century folk art paintings of courageous firemen. I would go back to PS1 just to see her two paintings.

*Spoken with true bitterness by my talented artiste friend who's wintering in SoCal. Come back to the five and dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean!

**Not that there's anything wrong with that.
