But I can't review their new show. Too many conflicts of interest. I own pieces by both artists, and I'm on the board of Box 13, where their show, False Face High, is being exhibited. I want to review it, but three conflicts is just too many. So instead of a review, here are some photos from the show. Judge for yourself--and get down to the Box and see the work in person.( I may be getting the titles mixed up on these--apologies in advance.)

your interests seem focused rather than conflicted. maybe one day you can write a post about why you like what you collect. (is that a review?)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm glad you support BOX 13 and I like this show, too.
I do occasionally write about pieces I acquire (see http://bit.ly/pb08E5). It's hard to be completely disinterested or unbiased if you are writing about art. I hope that by being transparent, I mitigate any feeling that I am pumping up artists I collect, which I think would be ethically suspect.
