Off-message art/related commentary by Devon Britt-Darby. Tag Archives: Kevyn Orr. 8220;Detroit is the place to be”. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but this is lousy news. Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr on Tuesday scrapped a scheduled bus tour for Wall Street creditors of the city’s worst areas. Several creditors decided against taking the tour Wednesday and said they would rather spend time researching the city’s financial condition, the emergency manager’s spokesman Bill Nowling said. The plan was to ha...

Off-message art/related commentary by Devon Britt-Darby. Art/devastation tours, then and now. Until 2014 so as not to compete with bigger, more glamorous extravaganzas like the Venice Biennale.). 2008, at Prospect.1 New Orleans. What made the memory so powerful wasn’t just the art but the way Prospect.1 director and chief curator Dan Cameron, who’s now the TK at the Orange County Museum of Art, sited. Many of the installations in the Lower Ninth Ward. In my Facebook photo album. I’m alternating sna...

SPACE CITY ROCK » The Church of Philadelphia, We’re Gonna Dance Tonight
http://www.spacecityrock.com/2015/04/25/the-church-of-philadelphia-were-gonna-dance-tonight
The Church of Philadelphia, We’re Gonna Dance Tonight. We're Gonna Dance Tonight. I found it really difficult to write this review, a whole lot harder than I’d ever expected I would. Now, in case you’re one of those people who only reads the first paragraph of a review and makes their mind up then and there, let me clarify that I don’t.

The Great God Pan Is Dead: Joaquin Torres-Garcia is Everywhere
http://www.thegreatgodpanisdead.com/2009/10/joaquin-torres-garcia-is-everywhere.html
Friday, October 9, 2009. Joaquin Torres-Garcia is Everywhere. Well, he's at the Menil. And through the work of his followers, at the Sicardi Gallery. The big show is at the Menil, and features Torres-Garcia's work in wood. Torres-Garcia is mainly known as a painter, and that's partly because paint is the dominant artistic medium of the first half of the 20th century. There is also a sense that some of his work in wood is less serious than his paintings. And that's true! There is a small but exquisite sho...

The Great God Pan Is Dead: Betsy Huete’s Big Show Top Ten
http://www.thegreatgodpanisdead.com/2015/07/betsy-huetes-big-show-top-ten.html

Like a flea market, it’s enticing to think that something with a resonating weirdness or striking complexity lingers right around the corner. But compared to previous years, this year’s group came off as much safer and sedate, like a. Papier mache rocker days. The slump can be attributed to any one of three things: 1) This is the best of what curator George Scheer. 2015, Arch...

Monday, March 2, 2015. In the past few weeks, I've hardly written a thing. The Great God Pan Is Dead. Is my blog, but only one of the past seven posts has been mine. I started a post in January on Prospect 3 in New Orleans but didn't get too far. A friend of mine noticed this, but generally it has been unremarked. Which I would expect. I'm not so vain to imagine that people miss. Is completely stupid but highly entertaining). I've drawn a lot; little more than doodling, really. Nothing that anyon...By Ra...
