San Francisco Art Openings: Ampersand Gallery

AMPERSAND INTERNATIONAL ARTS: I MISS YOU
OPENING 11.14.03

Comment: Art may or may not exemplify the statements that purport to explain it, and may-not is pretty much the case with this show-- except for the entertaining inventive prosthesis and appendage kits encased in clear plastic bags by Michael Campbell, not that his statement is a pillar of clarity either, but at least it makes sense at the beginning. Just because you make a statement doesn't mean you can create anything you want, and then de facto claim that what you've created adequately demonstrates, or even has anything to do with the ideas expressed in your statement.
Art: 5 fortune cookies with a bonus cookie for Campbell.
Crowd: 6 Dogpatch denizens.
Vibe: 5 obtuse artophiles.

Artist/Artists: Sylvie Belanger, Michael Campbell, Yoshinori Hosoki, Kan Xuan, Philippe Laleu, Christine Monceau; artists of Keep Your Distance.
