Dave,
Here are some possible title ideas for my Cathouse retrospective! Let me know if any appeal to you.
If a Tree Falls
It’s a Long Way to the Top
MoMA called. Just kidding.
OMG SO OLD
Chronological Indignities
The Path Less Seen
Mid-Career Collision
Uncomfortable Silences
The Good Old Days: 1995 – Yesterday
If this is a mid-career retrospective, does that mean I only have twenty more years in me tops? FUCK.
Closing Party Bonfire
Your call, Les
BIO Despite this show’s being in a morgue out in Brooklyn, Leslie Brack’s next exhibition will be in a museum! Really! Brack has shown many places that have since closed. She has spent lots of time staring at the walls at several residencies and has won several awards. Some even gave her money! Brack holds an MFA from a giant art mill and spent over a decade making the Williamsburg waterside attractive enough for bankers and “developers” to feel the need to crush it with their gross architecture. She currently lives and works in exile.
