As an artist I have a tendency to walk through exhibitions like this with an agenda. How do I stack up, is there a general trend, what is being ommited, and what is the overall quality and look of the show. 

As a whole it struck me that the criteria of much of the art that I saw fell into the realm of curiosities, that is art whose primary purpose was to get noticed and whose quality seemed in many instances to be based on it's oddity. In other words creativity based on attacking are senses with bizarre and unique experiental encounters. It is as if the SHOCK OF THE NEW becomes a formula for visual success in itself.

I like art that has the ability to renew itself as an idea and an experience and that is not just an encounter of  momentary titilation.
