| No, it's not an ArtPrize entry. But it might have greater artistic value. |
. . . in today's
GR Press. The MLive comments are priceless. One suggests we should be thankful that Devos has "created something out of nothing" and that those who aren't are simply jealous and have never done anything meaningful with our lives. Here's what I posted in response:
Rick did not create something out of nothing. He "created" ArtPrize by capitalizing on his family name and tossing some trust fund money into the prize pot. Those of us who have lived our entire lives in GR and have been educated in art have every right not to bow down/genuflect/kiss his ring and "be thankful" that we have him in our lives.
We're not Scrooges, either. We'd just rather be known for something of high quality than, in Rick's own words, "crazy crap."
Next year, I will enter myself, dipped in copper paint, hanging from a cross, holding a scrap metal sculpture of a cute animal, perhaps a hedgehog. I will place myself in the B.O.B. parking lot. And I will end up in the ArtPrize Top 10.
