Hari Kunzru

"His output is wildly uneven and spread across painting, drawing, film, sound poetry, fiction and performance. Despite this, he emerges as a substantial figure, not merely a satellite of William Burroughs and the other denizens of the Beat Hotel."

Methinks you damn him with faint praise. Jack of all trades, master of some, is quite an accomplishment in my book. The show was marvelous, and that he'd get such a show is marvelous. And did you notice when you left the New Museum the wall of red graffiti across the street that, from a distance, screams Gysinian calligraphic revelation? Beautiful.
