Garage Biennale: Four in One - Curators Create, Artist Curates.

Comment: In a fit of dilettante insider irrelevance, curator Terri Cohn and artist Stephanie Syjuco conspire to create and unveil a constellation-like diagrammatic configuration detailing schtups, porks, hanky-panky, cuckoldry, dalliances, and related anatomical indiscretions-- both proven and purported-- between known local artsters. Semi-mercifully, the coital cohorts are identified by their initials only, no full names. So if you want the skinny on who be gettin' down, this is the tabloid to add to your collection. In case you're curious-- and I know you aren't-- my initials do not appear on the connubial cartography. It's outcalls only for me.

And so we embark on this month's installment of the elevatingly esoteric Garage Biennale featuring four consecutive shoe-on-the-other-foot shows, each lasting one week, conceived by Michael Zheng, where four different curators create art instead of curate it, and a single artist (Stephanie Syjuco) curates the curators instead of creating art. My favorite part of this mind-bending dialectic dealie-bob is that comprehensive documentation of all previous shows will be on display at each successive show. Why do I like that part? 'Cuz documentation adds value not only in terms of understanding the art, but also in terms of $$. Nobody pays much for art they can't understand, and vice versa.
