Painting is so gimmicky now. This aesthetic of painting is a meme as well, Dana Schutz still does it best. Ah, I hate to sound so negative though, congrats to Mr. Palecek.

Please, if "meme(s)" is the word du jour, let's pronounce it with a long e.
It was morphed from the word "mimesis" around 1976--as "an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture." Quite catchy, not? As is The Bryant Park Project. Thank you and good day.
