Bora Mici on my Artomatic show

"Critics generally hate Artomatic because they are not equipped in any intellectual way to write about a show with 1,000 artists. That would require them to visit the show six to seven times, while still getting paid for just one review, when they are used to visiting a gallery or a museum with brains tuned to evaluating a single artist or group show rather than 1,000 artists ranging from disturbingly awful to spectacularly good.

In this mini Artomatic, I have broken down the real thing for them in the hopes of restoring some intellectual honesty to their critical opinions."
