Comment: Mounds of explanatory pilfer viewing time away from the art, particularly for slow readers, many of whom were graciously allowed to stay late by gallery management to toil through the verbiage. I cheated, skipped the viewing instructions, and cluelessly enjoyed the art, including the M.K. Guth Batman beach love video, John Slepian's hairy featureless blob-anisms, and the electric glass sculpture encasing a live plant by Philip Ross. Charles Gute's freestanding update of the old joke "How do you keep a turkey in suspense?" welcomes visitors to the gallery. The show announcement alone contains over 2200 words (yes, I counted) including insatiable fast food image-mongering, pornography, lyric bombard bard poet Mick Jagger, hungry currency machines, mass calculated avalanche entertainment, endless commercial apparatus, desire creating longings, product design seductions-- and that's just the third paragraph!! Evelyn Wood, eradicator of literary sloth, doyenne of dynamic comprehension, where are you now that I need you?
