Comments on: Doug Aitken: Additional Thoughts http://www.artfagcity.com/2007/02/05/doug-aitken-additional-thoughts/ As relevant as Eric Fischl. New York art news, reviews and gossip.

This "sleepwalkers" art piece and Doug Aitken are boring. I have read many articles and Interviews with Doug Aitken. He is an ultimate artworld clique. I can't understand anything he says, because he talks in meaningless artworld circles conveying almost no content in long winded art world academia language. Sleepwalkers is certainly not as good as the ads in Time Square a block away. Aitken's notion of "non-narrative" and "non-linear" is the ultimate artworld clique for conveying "no coherent" ideas that are meaningful. If people view Sleepwalkers 100 years from now, it conveys nothing on "life" as it exists in New York City in 2007. This is not a representation of our culture today, or a representation of anything meaningful, except justification by the public artist people for giving an artist way too much money to deliver almost nothing.
