A new kind of boom


Jerry Saltz reports on the rise of a "don't-settle-for-business-as-usual dynamic" in New York Magazine. His piece was prompted by a series of events that included listening to Explaining Pictures to a Dead Bull, a send up of art history by a loose collective of young artists known as the Bruce High Quality Foundation. He says: "These human bullshit detectors aim to provide an alternative to everything—their mission is to call out an art world mired in irrelevance." You can read Saltz's article here.
