I want to scream at them all, it's so weird. oh, like he gave me this stuff, duh, I dunno... the best is the accusatory picture in the room with all the pictures facing the walls. HELLO!? cop doesn't get it at all... really amazing psychological document more than the art which I found kindof high schooly - although very eloquent... this is just my opinion. but I'm more for artists who can really draw - and I know what good drawing is, I'm not just blabbing. this is my own irrational bias I admit.

I saw it on Jan 2 and didn't get around to posting this until yesterday. It closed on the 6th. I'm sad I didn't get the chance to get some Flickrites over there. It was one of the best shows I've seen in years. "How to Draw A Bunny" was in the show chuckwheat. I didn’t realize that the show was closing so soon.
