Go to Artworld Salon for a discussion on Steve Powers’ The Waterboarding Thrill Ride and the art and politics of torture.
A Cliche of Criticism…
James Panero succumbs to the la-z-boy cliche of lamenting contemporary criticism because it just doesn’t seem to stand up to what good old Clem and Harold churned out.
