Got sick of looking at these tentative figure things I’ve been doing… I just couldn’t imagine a time when I would like to look at them over a period of days, or months, so I blew up at them with ochre architecture… and speaking of blown up architecture, the Drawing Center is getting muscled out of “Freedom Tower”, because they may, MAY mind you, put up a show that might, MIGHT mind you, criticize America, or something. So the terrorists have won. I’m less afraid of people who want to blow me up, than I am of the bone heads clucking about the Drawing Center and even worse the politicians who listen to the them. These people claim to love America, but they love it the way Lenny loves rabbits. It sucks terribly that so many people died in the twin towers, but just because you’re related to one if them, doesn’t mean you get to be McCarthy…. just because you’re McCarthy doesn’t mean you get to be McCarthy… It’s just too ridiculous. Freedom? Freedom? That said, I never thought the Drawing Center should be there. It’s too great a little institution and I think that the whole project downtown is devolving into kitsch. The Center would have ended up all pumped up on steroids and lose its intimacy. While I’m ranting: How did this country let those idiots invade Iraq?
