My Better Judgment
Earlier today I was going to retract yesterday's statement with a tongue-in-cheek post about how guns and tattoos have finally convinced me that Los Angeles is the one, true center of the art world.
But I thought twice, exercised my better judgment, and stopped myself just as I was about to hit the "Publish Post" button. Angelenos seem to be a little touchy on the topic of New York vs. LA right now, and even though I was only kidding I didn't want to fuel the fire any more.
So how about something serious, then?
I've got a couple predictions for 2005 highlighted in this article, available on-line as of today. (Warning: this is so totally non-art related that you may think I've gone against my better judgment by even posting the link here. You're probably right.) So what if one of my predictions is a total reversal of a 2004 prediction I made last year for this publication? Sometimes the wind starts blowing from the other direction, right?
Let's just hope it doesn't start gusting too strongly from the west. I don't know what I would do if it started blowing guns into the classrooms at SVA and scalp tattoos onto the heads of all my neighbors.
