Got an alert from photographer Candace diCarlo about this New York Times article, “Critic’s Notebook: Beyond Comforting the Afflicted” by Caryn James, about a new show by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council that explores how American artists’ lives have changed because of 9/11. Unfortunately, some knee-jerk “patriots” have protested, under the unfair assumption that the show is anti-American (user: sokref1@comcast.net, password: lrrfartblog).
