Drivel

This morning everybody's paintings were taken out of the racks for the End
of the Year Show. Luke Jansen submitted his entire senior show. Carlos's
big black and gold painting was surprisingly tacky on the sides; I had to
scrub really hard to get it off my left index finger and thumb. Some
little crappo abandoned paintings were stepped on and no-one cares. Is
Tom's long painting even finished? It is the longest painting. Some oil
paint bled through to the back; this once pleased me, to see a doomed
painting, but it seems a little sad now. Three typical crude paintings on
metal sheets with chicken wire were sharp and heavy. There were a few good
paintings that I liked, but they were by girls.

while I think I would also say that cooper union is generally not a good school for image-makers, there has to be a more intelligent way of talking about it than this.

what do you mean by 'doomed paintings' and why did it once please you to see them?

why does it seem sad now?

what paintings did you like and why did you like them?

I suspect that answers to these and other questions would make for good blog-reading.

(p.s. there are paintings by great masters at the met that aren't dry yet)

(p.p.s. my favorite work at cooper union (as of the moment) is predominantly by female students.)

(p.p.p.s. girls are cooooool.)
