Tremendo paquete.

Poetry is arguably the most easily-made-awful art form.

Mr.Tuazon should have kept his mouth shut...

and let his grunge/nouveau environmentalist/nw wilderness man/homesteader-hippie/utopian off-the-grid/70's B.S./ Mother Earth News Lovin' P.R. mystique keep working it's magic for him-because there is clearly little intellect nor ability to present there. The 'wow' factor is in the shocking lack of quality in his content and delivery. It smacks of the moment-especially here in the ol' PNW where we embarrassingly reek of this vernacular schtick. Keep stammering along Oscar-they'll all figure you out soon enough...

You are high-larious sticksnstones (high-brow-larious?). Oscar is the single most successful artist to emerge from Seattle in the last, what, 25 years?

hey 'duped'(@8) Have a look back at the last 50 years of art rags and see how many of those celebrated art stars you recognize-very few. Your list speaks to a successful artist from Seattle living and working in Europe-its called the business of Art. Time will tell. BTW-your name choice of 'duped' is an ironic one. Remember:

All that glitters is not gold...

I disagree that "a museum needs a friend", it does not. They're even more beautiful when devoid of art. However, I would suggest that a museum does enjoy the occasional fuck buddy. Also, the reason that it's difficult to disengage art from museums is because art is like a male dog's boner, which is difficult to separate from a bitch once the sexual act has begun. It would be so fun to continue this conversation with the artist in a less formal setting. Perhaps he should have warned the audience of his nervousness and ideas of artistic fuckery before beginning the lecture.

Please wait...
