Metro Magazine looks forward to the future of art: “No more year-end ‘best-of’ lists,” they say “They are backward-looking and, frankly, who has the time?” In the meanwhile, MnSpeak’s own Andy writes about A Day Without Artists. We might also consider what Minnesota will be like with fewer museums, as the Museum of American Art has, at least temporarily, closed.

Man, I can’t wait to see that Peyton show for myself. It’s been absolutely eviscerated in certain quarters.

Aw, no one wants to get in a fight over Elizabeth Peyton?

I think it’s indicative of the times that there are 100 comments about where to buy food, and none on the future of art. Which goes to show that feeding the stomach is higher on our list of instincts than drawing pictures on the cave walls.

It’s a town where coops once went to war with each other. What can you do?

Hey, Peyton has to eat too! So I’ll bite, Andy. I haven’t read much “evisceration” of Peyton’s show. The worst those links provided was one opinion that her stuff looks like it was done by a grad student. That’s not exactly a knock-out punch. (And what’s wrong with grad school?) Sure, Peyton’s stuff can be trite, especially when she phones it in, but she’s clearly a talent and the show’s going to be a talker. Anything that brings Nirvana back onto the radar is a good thing, if only for comedic purposes.

I’ll fight, Andy! I don’t know a thing about her or her work, and it seems but I can say with no hesitation Pffft, Peyton. What does she know? Come on, really? Well, that’s different.*
*One of the meanest things a Minnesotan can say.
