SBC came on the local scene a while back with a kind of art theatrics offering an apparent serious promise of significance. The team seems to maintain a continuing tension in the art community. Their history has been curious and prone to criticism. A battle seems to have emerged between the promise and the criticism. I have trouble dismissing them and yet often remain puzzled about their significance. I tell myself I must remain open minded and wait for what one would hope a future retrospective might bring as appreciation for their antics. I suspect they see themselves as deeply immersed in puzzle making as related to art. It is so twentieth century and strongly contemporary. As viewers we seem to be left on a twentieth century hook of art. Art that makes you think, "What in the world?" Art as a recursive quandary unto itself. This stuff could be quintessential, but who knows?
