Art should enrich the intellectual and aesthetic lives of people
not serve the psychoanalytic needs of the "artist."  "Artists" who
are in need of psychotherapy should visit a shrink, not pollute the
walls and floors of cultural institutions with their deification (or
the excrement of any animal for that matter).  Their health
insurance, not public arts funding should finance their "work."  If
this exhibition in any way reflects the state of cultural
affairs in the United States then I am ashamed the be an American.
