...that's because it's more or less given that painting is a form of white male domination, implying "mastery." Indeed, the catalog presents quite a riff on this subject when it reflects on what might strike the unprepared visitor as the wretched pictorial ineptitude of such artists as Sue Williams, Raymond Pettibon, Mike Kelley and Karen Kilimnik. (Williams can't draw at all, although her installation The Sweet and Pungent Smell of Success includes a dandy splotch of plastic vomit.) Their work, says the catalog, "deliberately renounces success and power in favor of the degraded and dysfunctional, transforming deficiencies...
...abilities of a 2 1/2-year-old child and a taste for movies about cavemen. The 12-year-old pygmy chimpanzee lives with a colony of other apes in a cage complex on the wooded campus of the Georgia State University Language Research Center, near Atlanta. Under the tutelage of psychologist Sue Savage-Rumbaugh, he makes his desires known either by pointing to symbols printed on a laminated board or by punching the symbols on a special keyboard that then generates the words in English.

"Sometimes you hear a crack like thunder," says U.S. Forest Service research scientist Sue Ferguson, who has been caught in several small slides. "Sometimes the avalanche releases quietly, like rustling silk." Traveling at speeds that can exceed 80 m.p.h., the rushing snowpack compresses the air at its prow, generating a wind blast strong enough to smash windows and hurl skiers into trees. Once the avalanche stops, the snow mass solidifies, entombing its victims in an icy grip...
