Artful Noise

This weekend is the last chance to see Phil Collins: the world won’t listen at the Dallas Museum of Art. In case you don’t recall, the installation is a series of videos of Smiths fans singing their favorite songs from the album of the same name, karaoke style. Of course, since it’s art, it’s much more complicated than that. Art critic (and long ago FrontBurnerer) Christina Rees explains. (Link tip to Holly, who points out that tonight is the last free night to see it.)

    There is a very good reason why the world won’t listen: Napoleon Dynamite meets Emo.

    Adam, thanks for this post, it reminds me a bit of the golden horseshoe circa 1986.

    I love Christina, I really do, but wouldn’t we all rather have Sandra Crenshaw explain it to us?
