Oh DIY… and delusions of Grandeur. So, you move to the City and want to make war. Better get the names of your Enemies correct. PAFA stands for PENNSYLVANIA Academy of the Fine Arts… you know, that organization founded in 1805 mother of all arts schools in this young Nation, where they still strive (against all mod odds) to create something more than “concepts”

I love this Western front that’s developing here. Generals Dayton and Santini, we await your action as you sort out your references and tactics.

Touche, Barb. I suppose we are a bit rusty on the war declarations…

No argument on the SAIC tendency toward superfluous, overly complex, labyrinthine, difficult to follow, and intricately folded missives, artist statements, and manifestos. It’s our niche.

And regarding the empty horses: You might want to ask Marshall McLuhan.

While I am sympathetic to the feelings of SAIC, that was the lamest and — in true SAIC fashion — most convoluted declaration of counterthreat I have ever stumbled through. And besides, there was nothing IN the horses anyway. Empty, like the Tyler program…

Poli-art-educational instability just 90 miles from New York is a threat to the foundations of Contemporary Art as an institution, and to artists everywhere. We are considering a long-range preemptive strike on Temple/Tyler School of Art in order to stabilize the region. If a ceasefire is not reached immediately we will be forced to respond, with extreme prejudice, and great controversy.

Oh, well, in typical Penn fashion, they got caught up in their branding. The facts are the program includes things like architecture, landscape architecture, fine art. I don’t think “design” as we know it is really hitting the nail on the head. I’m sure the school will argue the point until they’re blue in the face.
