With Each Youthful Step: October 2011

So it seems as if LA is trying to establish itself as an art capital as always overshadowed by its faraway competitor. The West Coast has been coined as corny, inorganic, forced. Not sure how I feel about Southern California attempting to hold its own. Each city is unique for its differences. What do you think? Take a read.

"This multi-museum event, in all of its Los Angeles-like sprawl, suggests a bit of overcompensation from a city that has long been overshadowed by the New York art establishment, a place that — arguably unfairly — still suffers from a reputation of being more about tinsel than about serious art, and where interest in culture starts and ends with movie grosses and who is on the cover of Vanity Fair."
