Jumping the Shark, Dropping the Penny? Andrew Lamprecht at Blank Projects
Monday, August 06, 2007
So this run of pretty confusing and, dare I say, idiosyncratic shows at Blank is continuing. In the series of one night shows curated by Lily Luz and Carrie Timlin, this was probably the oddest and most inscrutable. Andrew Lamprecht, theorist to the stars, was the artist this time. He claimed that it was a prelude to another show, a teaser. Which is fair enough. But I must admit I just didn't get it. The show consisted of a contract on the one wall with a man called Jacques Rousseau, apparently a poet, exchanging his soul for a carton of Marlboro Lights. A good exchange, I'd say, excepting the contract had not been signed yet. On the long wall was a series of photocopies of what seemed to be alchemical illustrations. On the third wall were the certified results of Andrew, Carrie and Lily's thankfully negative Aids tests. I just didn't follow the connections, unless it was purposefully inchoate. All I can say is either Andrew has jumped the shark with this one, letting his reputation carry him, or the follow up show is going to be an awesome penny-drop thing. I hope it's the latter.Labels: andrew lamprecht, Blank

You know the thing about how the book is usually better than the movie? Wouldn't it be nice if instead of having to see the art you could read the book?
that's like ruth's "i'll stop believing in you if you stop slagging me off" thing
andrew is only doing this because carrie was his assistant and he would feel bad if he said no. ed only did it because carrie fucked him and she probably bought him drugs. aagh
why don't we all just drink cyanide laced Cool Aid en masse?

Deary me, the tragedy, the mortuary, the horror.
Here again, once again: we have pursed sow lipped sad old baldy poseur tiddley winkey slim brained theoretician (aargghh, HIV free, um oh oh … so… huh)? — ?, posting his own, or by sycophantic hagiographers of ignominy wool over eyes in skid-marked underpants, their/his/her self aggrandising waffle on heat … art? Well, stinkies, what is Michaelis coming to? What? What? What?
Madame Derrier
firstly: stop hating michaelis you stupid fuck.
also:
please do not let crappy carrie and whoever her shitty partner is be your idea of michealis. its not like they attend lectures or studiowork.
Anonymous...Hating seems to be something you do very well. What hidden grudges and indepth psycological trauma has carrie inflicted upon your fragile and tormented soul? This is her first curated show and already all this hate mail. You really should consider getting a hobby...or a girlfriend...both. Maybe they could be the same thing...I don't know you so I can't tell.
hmm, it seems you do know Anonymous, WCWAJGA. what makes you think Anonymous was a male? a single male? pretty lame WCWAJGA.
maybe you need to get a BOYFRIEND??
carrie?
Nope...not me...sorry. refuse to reply to above statements. Hope you're having fun though. This whole thing is really amusing.
oh, and for reasons that cannot be disclosed, I don't write under anon or other. Hav a great day, angry people!
