Review
Jim Lambie, a Scottish colourist, has taped a big floor bringing colour =
into this mausoleum of British art. A David Bachelor electric totem pole =
is placed in the dazzle of mosaic brightness. Before that they've dumped =
a heavy lump of Whiteread. Question:Describe what you feel when you see =
this art. A:At best a little aesthetic twitch, at worst immanent =
objectified death.=20


Inside the main hall Dexter Dullwood paints superficial attractive =
decorations to provoke conversations about imagined places. Ian =
Davenport has dripped the walls, and the same question as before is =
answered. Another room, Paul Noble enlarges a toon from Mad Magazine and =
Gill Carnegie paints paintings terrified of joy, beauty, or sincerity.=20


Some common photos are around and there are art school pieces in =
coloured pencil. In all places the stench of education is present, of =
thought, of how to avoid boredom, and nowhere can one look at something =
without the artist looking over ones shoulder whispering their meanings. =


In the final room a Peter Doig, absurdly valuable but why not, and vapid =
as it intends to be. George Shaw's Victorian landscapes at least have a =
subject at the centre of their empty rhetoric. I cannot face the dark =
rooms of videos, of multiscreens of nothing happening, of pop music over =
reality. That's it.=20


And these artists are probably the best around now. Their talent is as =
apparent as their failure to make between them one desirable work of =
art, or one that the world would miss. They, with great intelligence and =
determination, produce nothing.

what do you think in your =
head?http://www.worldwidereview.com/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/Reviews_post.htm?2=

Review
Joey and Dawson are our star crossed lovers. Now these kids are at =
University it really feels that they are real, growing up just like we =
did. When I am old they will be old. When they die I will die. My =
children will watch Joey's funeral and think of me. The writers of =
Dawsons Creek are unknown like Homer. Their creations will live on in =
our collective history.
