I don’t have to watch BRAVO’s yet-to-be-released reality show Work of Art: The Next Great Artist to know casting socialite and Half Gallery owner Bill Powers as a judge is a problem. Take Half Gallery’s promo text for Olivier Zahm’s show in September and my submission for Hyperallergic’s Worse. Press. Ever. competition: This isn’t just the result of some art lacky who doesn’t know what they’re doing — it’s the kind of vapid crap people come up with when they’re most interested in social standing and material culture. These are the folks who give art a bad name. Vote this guy down!
