Comments on: Karat and stick: The double edged career of John Bucklin http://www.artlurker.com/2008/07/karat-and-stick-the-double-edged-career-of-john-bucklin/ A Miami based contemporary art newsletter / blog Fri, 24 May 2013 05:14:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: david Rohn http://www.artlurker.com/2008/07/karat-and-stick-the-double-edged-career-of-john-bucklin/comment-page-1/#comment-183 david Rohn Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:01:29 +0000 http://www.artlurker.com/?p=257#comment-183 I really like the way this work has a defined point of departure and takes a historical reference point from it s place of origin and applies it to now. And I think it helps that the choice is loaded for present circumstances:finding gold in them thar hills. I ve sometimes thought of art making as being comparable to the alchemists who sought to make gold out of other things that had no value-and with contemporary art os related to monetary value now it all seems to tie in together -it s nice thoughtful work.
