Slog - Comments on The Goddess, Art, and Me http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/the_goddess_art_and_me This weekend brought a most exciting email to my in-box, from the one and only Goddess Kring: it's nice that you mentioned my art gallery exhibit in your "last days" write up for sept 5th 2008. thank you for spelling my name and the title of my show, and the art gallery name correctly! ha! it's however creepy and bizarre to me that you didn't talk about my actual photography or artwork and instead mentioned some strange and negative conversation two people had i don't even know who drank too much wine at the opening. what a lack of...

That was one of the greatest days of my life.

Shannon Kringen.

That we all know her name is embarrassing...

Supreme hack. Original MySpace CamWhore. She's a joke.

She's like a walking, talking, nude body-painting, eyebrow-raising and then twiddly-doo twiddly-doo bad hippydancing version of an "Art Car": no, you horrible jackass, you just glued a bunch of plastic army men on your shitty car...you are not an artist just because you said so.

Shannon Kringen: you suck. Forever.

Have a nice day!

And for someone who claims to be "introspective", she has to be one of the most unabashedly exhibitionistic personages in Seattle in the past 12 or so years. Seriously, her level of blatant self-promotion would make Warhol spin in his grave like a hyper-velocity rotisserie (and apologies to the Late Mr. Warhol, since self-promotion is the ONLY quality he and Ms. Kringen share - certainly not talent.)

My analysis of her deal is that I was too dumb to understand it. With that answer established, I was able to move on without recrimination or regret.

I liked her cable access show - and like the stuff she's doing now.

Keep on with it!

(And don't pay attention to people whose most creative statement in life is what they buy and consume.)

No doubt the sun rising in the East (every morning!) also comes as surprise.

She is famous around the local art community. She poses for money, she does body art, she had a public access show for awhile.

I don't think I have ever recovered. The thought of it still makes me wish I were dead.

I'd prefer to not think about Kringen's "openings."

Sadly I don't think Kring ever made it out to digipen. Sucks you make it sound like a real badge of honor.

Her presence in the class was very unnerving. Her freaky gaze, and the instructor telling us to "be the dove" really made for an uncomfortable class.

I think it's safe to say now that Bag will let you, Richie, and Potsie into the Dukes.

Bet you're relieved writing this review was your initiation rather than calling Marsha on a payphone at Arnold's and asking if she had Prince Albert in can. I know you had doubts about whether you could pull that off...

So, you can't say she never created anything unusual.

Pretty funny parody of what she did in nudism: http://kannonshrigen.livejournal.com/8868.html
