| Where To Find Lola |
1. Art and Laundry: Blurring the Boundaries -- If anything, I think boundaries between art and everything else ought to be reinforced and strictly monitored. I'm assuming this show is heavy on the "lint art" (see Lola #9 "Top Ten Art Cliches You Can't Do Any More"). 2. Landscapes of the Soul -- This is the show your mom puts on after you move out and she enrolls in an oil painting class at the community centre taught by some aging poodle-haired hippie. So basically, it's all your fault. 3. Where Is Your Rupture? -- This one really was a real show, held at the Swiss Institute in NYC. The vaguely offensive and juvenile title cleverly illustrates the vaguely offensive and juvenile art within. 4. My Big Fat Photography Exhibition -- Even as an ironic play on the hit musical, it's still lame. 5. Changing Lanes: The Art of the Bus Transfer -- 'Nuff said. 6. Millennium Visions: The Future Is Now -- Ever notice how the most pretentious show titles use colons? 7. Cyberscapes: An Interactive Journey -- This is the show you saw in 1993 that had two Macs (one of which was out of order), and a v. slow internet connection. You thought it was cool at the time. 8. Can I Borrow A Feeling? -- Actually, this is an obscure Simpsons reference, but a lame title nonetheless. 9. New Poo Art -- All kinds of good shit in this show (Gilbert & George, Chris Olifi, Paul McCarthy et al.). 10. Dorkumenta -- Curated by that guy in grade school who always wore a cardigan, and featuring work by a guy who works at Silver Snail comics, the kid from "Mr. Belvedere," and you. Jason Dunda lives in Chicago and gets all misty eyed when MTV2 plays Bryan Adams. jdunda@artic.edu 12. Brand Names 11. Disaaah-ster Movies 10.
