They are often small and specific, like the art/craft open house, the MOCA sale that Heidi Lingg puts together during the holidays, or some of the shows that Zygote Press puts up. It's part of why I miss the art museum being up at full steam - they used to have smaller ancillary exhibits on contemporary stuff that were often quite wonderful.evenclevelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16338164103202396208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723725031816580207.post-18565190268426779002008-07-31T18:20:00.000-04:002008-07-31T18:20:00.000-04:00Good point about the curatorial ability, Stephanie...Good point about the curatorial ability, Stephanie. I don't personally know the folks in charge, but that's definitely the vibe I got, too. Problem is, I haven't been to a well-curated event in NEO yet (other than some of Dana Depew's efforts at Asterisk), so where does one turn to find the talent?CBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00868356791228448949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723725031816580207.post-66486168021421208652008-07-31T09:56:00.000-04:002008-07-31T09:56:00.000-04:00I was interested to read your take on this because...I was interested to read your take on this because years previous have been consistently underwhelming (with the blazing exception of Grandmaster Flash last year, but I would consider him a phenomenon of himself completely separate from the festival.)<BR/><BR/>I think the problem is an utter lack of curatorial ability - I don't get the sense that the people in charge of the programming have a consistent vision of what the festival should be, or that they have anything more than a superficial understanding of art or technology (look - an artist with video cameras - that's art AND technology!) That lack results in an unfocused, shoddy, dilettante product that sadly has been over-hyped due to a dearth of other ideas.<BR/><BR/>It's a shame, because there was a grain of potential there.evenclevelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16338164103202396208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723725031816580207.post-635641481381029102008-07-31T07:24:00.000-04:002008-07-31T07:24:00.000-04:00This was my favorite part:"My friend's daughter as...This was my favorite part:<BR/><BR/>"My friend's daughter asked me, in that room, if what we were looking at was art.

Unless you're in that area, you have no idea that something cool is happening.<BR/><BR/>This is year four, right? If they had kept it near Public Square, we might be watching an ongoing success story in the making. <BR/><BR/>Or perhaps not.<BR/><BR/>But I am impressed that James Levin has hung in there, after the initial group that was working with him bailed out. I'd just like to see him be smarter about the organization of this whole thing.<BR/><BR/>Example - are all of the separate admission fees necessary?<BR/><BR/>Sell me a badge that will get me into everything, and split the profits with whoever you need to.<BR/><BR/>I'd much rather shell out "X" amount for a badge, compared to 20 bucks here, 15 bucks there, etc.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968252020608108201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723725031816580207.post-46491904918630476972008-07-30T12:57:00.000-04:002008-07-30T12:57:00.000-04:00"As I started thinking this morning about how I wa..."As I started thinking this morning about how I wanted to write this, it occurred to me how strange it is that I'm even spending this much time thinking about my own opinion and, even more to the point, why I have a critical perspective that is worth sharing.
