Own a little sadness

If you happen to have fallen out of love with New York or are over it, check out Kristen Jensen's hand embroidered "I Hearted New York" t-shirts at her website, www.iheartednewyork.com
I have one, though I secretly still love New York. Paradoxically, it would probably make her happy if you bought a little piece of her sadness, or just visited her project. You can check out her work if you happen to be at the next Hunter open studio this fall.

If you know you want one, just email her at jensen.kristen@gmail.com

you know your work is at about the same level, right? making a joke about another shitty artist does not make your work less of a joke.
you are mimram without the money for a billboard. -anonymous

Well, There's that and then there's David Joselit's opinion in the current issue of Artforum regarding my painting "Ganek Acquires Powhida" in a show called Air Kissing curated by Sasha Archibald. The show opened last fall at Momenta Art in Brooklyn and is scheduled to open in March at Arcadia University outside of Philadelphia. It's an excellent show that engages the contemporary art world from multiple angles. While I often find myself thinking similar thoughts as anonymous, Joselit's words are a reminder that William Powhida exists largely as a perception.
