...performance artist Laurie Anderson in an essay ostensibly about "Women Composers," he immediately casts doubt over his choice of women by stating," some artists suddenly become trendy and hot. They may sustain their recognition, of they may slip from view. At this writing, about the hottest, trendiest artist in SoHo is Laurie Anderson." Later in the essay he accomplishes the almost impossible task of negating one of his statements in the same sentence. "But her wit clearly entrances her audiences, and has helped secure her reputation. So has the very fact that she is a woman, although that alone explains...
...SoHo, a trio of rising reputations but uneven talents...
There were three one-man shows on the itinerary of most gallerygoers in New York City's SoHo area last month: Robert Longo, David Salle and Gérard Garouste. Taken together, they were fairly instructive. Here are three rising, though by no means certified, reputations; yet their success seems tinged with panic.

Sculpture, combines and a 100-ft.-long photomontage based on a recent trip to China are being shown in three spaces run by Leo Castelli and Ileana Sonnabend downtown in SoHo; uptown, at the Museum of Modern Art, a set of collages from the China journey is on display. They are all pendants to a larger project, the Rauschenberg Overseas Cultural Interchange (ROCI), whereby he intends to travel and exhibit a changing nucleus of works in some 20 countries, while working...
