I simply don't believe the man and it sounds like pompous, geriatric posing to me (a self-avowed knee-jerk). I know only what his bio says about the guy and I certainly don't travel in his circles, but I'm guessing I'm about as geriatric as he.

But, it seems fair to wonder if "art bloggers" are attempting to become another element of art establishment.<br /><br />It is true that there are many things in the art world that need to change, -and at their best, some art blogs make reasoned and poignant criticisms of these areas.
