THE CRITIC SEES - part 2: Make It Funky!


In the recent ArtCritical Review Panel discussion of the Chris Martin show, Robert Storr, after making a case for finding the joy in painting, ended with an aside about references to James Brown in the work of Chris Martin and Mark Bradford saying something to the effect of "In these dire times...we need less Foucault, and more funky chicken."

The beat's in the gut.
