[spectre] THEAUSTRIANABSTRACTS

[Heiko Recktenwald]

Indeed, "5 years of bad art after 9/11" comes to mind.

It is incredible, that the ONLY convincing internationally known 
political art against Abu Graib etc is by good old Botero, who is 
believed to paint for society ladies. Maybe he was never unpolitical 
with his fat officers etc.

Net.art seems to be brain.dead,
