I have a couple of booths to write about that I enjoyed, installations, a bit clever but poignant, too. Glad to find you in here. Thanks for the review, Daniel.

Sigh. You *have* to be kidding me! It's like the pranks we used to play in college, when we'd put gallery labels on water fountains, etc. I couldn't believe that a gallery dedicated an entire booth at the Armory Show to this "art".

And I was lol@ "less good". I too am sick of everyone trying to be so darn clever. I'm working up the courage to go to Art Basel this year. Last time I went, I got a headache from rolling my eyes so hard at all the "less good" stuff. What's so wrong with being straight-forward and earnest?! Excellent reporting! And I was lol@ “less good”.

Browsing around the Starn Brother's website I came across their incredible bamboo structures and the photographs they take of them. This work seems to link to the work of Andy Goldsworthy that I particularly like and gives me a bridge back to my work. I wish I could get to the show for myself.
