Plaid To Meet You, Merlin Carpenter

Merlin Carpenter's recent show (closing this Thursday) at Miami's Formalist
Sidewalk Poetry Club
consists of poorly knocked-off
Burberry plaids half-assedly draped over canvas frames.

somehow this works for me.

what works for me even more is his ornery slingshot-
back-pocket of past exhibitions...including his fleecing
of the ICA Philadelphia's group show, Make Your Own Life,
for $4000 in cash for his own, personal shopping spree. Zing!
