For me, Art Fag City is really hit or miss, but when it hits, it really is dead on. Paddy Johnson says in regards to the “A Book About Death” show:
I’m not typically a fan of open calls (uncurated shows tend to attract those who can’t), but I can get behind a solid show concept employing the format. One such case can be seen in A book About Death, an exhibition asking over 1000 artists to produce an unbound book of 500 post cards. Conceived by Matthew Rose, the show couldn’t be more timely; it’s been a big year for death. Not to state the obvious, but Michael Jackson and Farah Fawcett’s death last Thursday gives us all quite a bit to respond to. Art Fag City, however, will take a different track; we’re considering submitting the subscription inserts of now-defunct magazines as our contribution to the project.
On point Johnson, on point.
