This is a small sample of coverage for this much anticipated show that has about as much juice as the Democrats in the Senate.

One of the more provocative installation pieces was by Kate Gilmore; a video of the artist beating her way out of a sheetrock closet with no doors or windows. She has apparently been walled in with a camera located from above when Dr. Lisa Levy posits a possible analysis the catches some traction – in Flavorpill.

The interweb hadn’t been up to speed (it barely existed) so it was up to print and TV media to go starkers. Which they did. The ‘93 Whitney Bi became the poster child of all that what was wrong with contemporary art and how twisted it was. As far as GBTV was concerned, this was action TV and the best Biennial we’ve ever seen. Check out the Guerilla Girls poster for the ‘93 WhitBi. More of the Whitney show itself is catapulted to the forefront in our film “Guest of Cindy Sherman”…. And the artist that calls Charlie Finch an asshole  there is Paula Hayes, as he said in comment.
