"i'm on fire" is definitely there, tucked away in a corner near the bar. i saw it the other night and couldn't decide if i liked it or not. i still haven't decided, not that it matters.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was those "Craft of the month" clubs my grandmother belonged to when I was a little kid.

Not everything you create yourself is art. If this is art I have a closet of it.

That's the gold standard at Grey. Ooooh, you created some craptastic hipster aRt that looks like it came out of Urban Outfitters? Let's show it!

I like to cross-stitch and needlepoint... It kills the time. Even my just-to-pass-the-time cross-stiches and needlepoints are of a higher quality than that piece, and I would never, ever, not in a million years have the gall to call myself and "aRtist."

That needlepoint is seriously fugly. It's poorly executed. And, um, http://www.subversivecrossstitch.com/ and http://www.sublimestitching.com/ is teh old meme, circa 2002 Bust Magazine. Seriously lame, guys, seriously lame.

I thought of I'm On Fire by Dwight Twilley from 1975.

Some day I will hold a blind trial for a bunch of modern art critics to test their ability to differentiate between gallery drivel like this and the stuff that they superciliously dismiss as "craft". My guess: without knowing which piece has the fancy artist or gallery name attached to it, they'll fall flat on their faces.

"Art" is such a boring, hermetically sealed world these days. I'll stick to making and buying "crafts" even if I can't charge thousands of dollars for 30 minutes of sloppy embroidery.
