Slog - Comments on Small But Mighty Wandering Mandy Greer http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/10/small_but_mighty_man Mandy Greer's great big installation at Bumbershoot, Small But Mighty Wandering Pearl, of an infinitely bleeding stag, was a total traffic-stopper, and I was terribly saddened to think it was only up three days. The good news is -- it's not! It's opening at CoCA Oct. 14 and running through Nov. 12, in a split bill that also includes a "photographic exploration ... of the bride" by Tomiko Jones. I once asked about why there's no work out there that references babymaking -- Greer's deer gore, her Victorian viscera, is a great response. Here's a glimpse, but it must be...

I'm glad you picked up on the quality of this artist and thanks for the lead to revisit!
