This from Zoe Strauss:
Now, check out this review by Roberta Smith…
HOLY FUCK!!!!!Just putting out there that I saw Roberta Smith and Jerry Saltz at my show on opening day and I was so star struck that after I spoke to them I had to go in the back and lay down on the cool concrete floor in the gallery. I am a really big Roberta Smith fan.
And on a more local note–
The savior of Fairmount Park’s public art works, Penny Balkin Bach, received an honorary degree from Moore College of Art and Design May 14. That would be Doctor Penny from now on.
