The New Museum Show

Dorothy Iannone: The variety of mediums that she worked in was interesting. Looking at the genitals of the female figure somehow reminded me of Henry Darger's little girls. Her treatment of the figures and their placement make them appear iconic.

Emory Douglas: I found the information about the Black Panther party very helpful in understanding the work. The mural at the entrance is gives a good introduction to the rest of the show. The newspaper collections gave a good idea of why the work was created, and for whom.

David Goldblatt: I found his new works to be quite entertaining. The installation was such so that you had a image of a desert, somewhat near an image of a garden. The juxtaposition of the old and new was interesting. The images of Dr. Paul's clinic were quite humorous.
