Humility is far too rare at the NYTimes
Two threads down I referenced a letter I sent to the NYTimes' art critic regard her whiny lopsided editorial about the Mass MoCA vs Buchel smackdown. It looks like I wasn't the only one who thought she was being intellectually dishonest:
An article last Sunday about the dispute between the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art and the artist Christoph Büchel over the museum's decision to display an uncompleted installation work by Mr. Büchel despite his opposition referred imprecisely to comments by the museum's director, Joseph Thompson. The remarks defending the museum's position were repeated from an article in May about the dispute; Mr. Thompson was not asked for a follow-up response for last Sunday's article. (Go to Article)Cherry picking quotes from old articles and using them out of context is much harder to get away with in the modern age of the internets. It's a bitch when your own work comes back to bite you in the arse. ¶ 9:20 AM
