Critic, curator and friend Jack Bankowsky is wearing his Freeway 110s. Jack’s writings include some of our very favorite essays about some of our very favorite artists (Jason Rhoades, David Hammons and Richard Prince are among his recent subjects). Happy almost birthday, Jack!
“Artists somehow develop this moral crisis where we are fearful of being effective in the world; we were the great seducers, we were the great manipulators, and we have given up these intrinsic powers of art, its effectiveness.” -Jeff Koons
The quote is taken from Jack Bankowsky’s essay in the exhibition catalogue “Pop Life: Art in a Material World.” Both Bankowsky and co-editor Alison Gingeras will be on hand next Thursday from 6-8pm at Gagosian Shop, 988 Madison Ave. in NYC, to sign copies.
