Went to the Armory Show today before I had a meeting down at Saatchi and Saatchi. I must say, I was far more impressed and interested in what I saw at the Armory Show than I did yesterday at the Whitney Biannual. There were a hand full of artists that were doing things that I thought was interesting, but nothing hit me in the gut, either good or bad. I was simply indifferent to most. Some even looked as if its an arts and craft project gone too far.
Yet, at the Armory Show, there were things that I immediately had a reaction to. To be fair, there were pieces that I made me want to rethink my love for contemporary art, but at least there was a reaction. Indifference might be the worst sin of all.
The image is a bit blurry, but I think this woman’s shoe is as much a work of art as anything else there.
