Not an art of alienation? I don't know about that. Just because this work
doesn't have the connotation of gut-wrenching, soul-baring, hard-drinking,
screw-you-if-you-don't-understand-it machismo doesn't mean that it is
essentially "alienating." Most of the work you cite, after all, is concerned
with disorienting the codified art-viewer-reality relationship, I would say
to "alienate" the viewer from the relationship to art that he or she is
accustomed to. Comments?
