...Exhibits in those days were natural warehouses," said Ed G. Haack, the Director of Exhibits at the Museum of Comparative Zoology. "Today, we want them to be didactic, inspiring." And they are inspiring. The captions in the cases read like a zoological Jenny Holzer: "Fossils are geological stopwatches....The isolation of South America led to the evolution of bizarre animals....X-rays expose the past...
...Enthusiastic and sometimes venomous scribes from Leeds (England) whose tastes intersect with mine only every so often, but who are so much fun to read that I don't much mind: thick heaps of raw information about (largely) noisy records from all over the globe, with bizarre slogans Jenny Holzer would kill to have coined liberally "mixed in" (in the ice-cream sense of the phrase "mixed in"). Nirvana and Sonic Youth were in here early on; the latest issue has the most articulate, most convincing (pro-) "Riot Grrrl" think-piece/manifesto I've seen, plus interviews with Moonshake, Sugar...

You don't need to be a Guerrilla Girl to object to this. By what contorted standards of taste could Jonathan Borofsky's flatulent bits of pictorial free association, or Keith Haring's cute squiggle salads, be thought more original, let alone more beautiful, than the best work of, say, Susan Rothenberg, Nancy Graves, Elizabeth Murray or Vija Celmins? Where are those formidable senior talents, the two Louises, Bourgeois and Nevelson, without whom...
