Thanks for the write up btw....keep up the great job! Writing you from my working hand. Performa could be overrated at this point. I enjoyed this underground atmosphere. It seems to lend a hand to the raw guts of performance. Performance artist who just performs, Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow I agree with Lawrence Swan. Thanks for the write up btw….keep up the great job!

In this case, I think Hrag was attempting an unscheduled performance that added another dimension to the official performances. I am sure neither Mr. Vartanian nor Mr. Munk think spontaneous fly-on-the-wall commentary can take the place of criticism. 2) I think New York has room for more than one performance festival, and New York art snobs need "obscure" artists more than they need a high quality roster of "popular" favorites. 1) Liveblogging is not a desireable replacement for critical writing, but is a kind of performance itself.

Regarding art criticism, everyone can read what they wish but others are more positive. To each their own ... thanks for voicing your opinion though.

I don't know what's happening yet but there seems to be new energy in criticism, which is a good thing. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
