Last paragraph was obviously written by Faust using a new alias:

Certainly Colen’s pieces are textbook examples, but the critical revulsion they’ve prompted betrays a certain myopia. Lately, the art world has been sustained by two increasingly unsustainable contradictions: that it could freely borrow from pop culture without becoming pop culture, and that formerly radical artistic tropes could be recycled ad nauseam without becoming reactionary. But these have always been expressions of wishful thinking—fine-feathered delusions, bound to come home to roost someday. Now that they have, no one should be surprised that galleries are filled with guano. Or as we like to say in Yiddish, dreck.

/\ Awesome. I want to be able to publish things like that! All in due time.

I be confused.

at least the critic didn't spell it 'ad nauseum.' i don't like all the high-sounding speak in his critique. i'm probably overreacting.

I met some kid here who worked for the company that built the ramp for dan. he's also a skater and was one of the dudes who skated the ramp - i used to skate back in my younger days and he was like - dude - you can skate it and meet dan if you want - im an artist - so i was all - ffff yeah! but i ended up having to leave town so i missed the chance....
i was never a huge fan of dan colen but at the same time it sort of intrigues me because he is well - big.
