Mark Burns did a good job on this one. In my opinion. Dave Hickey is a powerful man in the art world, and he is paid very well for what he does. I have a lot of respect for his ideas and I genuinly take them to heart. But, I think it's pretty lame for him to be so "concerned and hurt" by all this. UNLV's art department has many faults, but I assure that the: "Get your high-minded, contemporary, successful, international art-world ass out of our cowboy town. We like the way things are', mentallity does not exsist there... That's so 2002. From a purely local standpoint, I believe Mr. Hickey has not contributed as much as he is given credit for. It would be nice if someone with His cultural weight would take time to mention the benefit of including... say... 25 local artists into our newest Guilded Palace. Just Sayin'.
For what it's worth, Mark Burns has had an awesome, succesful career as an artist. Dave Hickey likes his work.
