Art critics and connoisseurs are not known for donnybrooks, but at
least one London correspondent has confided that an interlude of
polite fisticuffs followed a discussion of Billy Conklin’s works
at a certain show in the UK. Conklin is a maverick with a
provocative — some say subversive — take on what art is meant to
be in a pluralistic society. His pieces have been occasionally
likened to “the psychoanalytic concept of transference.”
Conklin's... current offering at the Museum of New Art, is
non-transferable, but the ideas and questions that arise in your
head may be freely taken home at the end of the night. Sweet
dreams.
