Work of (f)Art: The Next Great "Art Pussy."

Ok, let me be very clear: I am totally against Bravo's art miscreation Work Of Art: The Next Great Artist.  However, while I boycott the show, reading the recap blogs are one of my favorite things to do on Thursdays.  If you've missed them, check out ARTINFO's , where they say: "Finally (China) Chow claims, 'the only rule in art is what works, and your piece didn’t.' Stop trying to steal Tim Gunn’s slogan and then messing it up!'"  And then Jerry Saltz's blog at New York Magazine, where he says Erik's "art pussy" comment "will haunt him in the art world. Maybe he should make like Raskolnikov in Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment and publicly confess. Go to MoMA; shout into the Yoko Ono microphone now in the atrium, 'I am an art pussy.' Maybe he should have Nao and Judith spelling the words 'PROUD PUSSY' backward in brown liquid. Jamie-Lynn could sweetly dance, and Trong could tell people who Tom Freidman is. John and Amanda could turn it all into an abstract book cover."  By far these are the best things to come out of this show.
