Though Roger Horn's design diagonally tries to connect the disparate samples of work, the exhibit does not hang together-indeed some of the pieces look most uncomfortable hanging in the same room...

We often hear the claim that they are not numerous enough to constitute a control group, and thus their unique qualifications and potential cannot be adequately tested. It seems very strange to me that hand in hand with this claim goes the much publicized one that, on the basis...
