I've been following these since he started doing it on Instagram. I saw the show in NY. I've really done my best to be open minded about this. I'm failing. And I generally get his work and love it. The nurses are moving. I dig the jokes and the Cowboys and the bikers, even some of the body parts. His appropriation play is provoking and thoughtful and even fun, at least to me. What leaves me uninspired with this is what he's aping and how. When he plays with advertising, that imagery of the Marlboro Man for example is pervasive, universal and so unconscious. This Instagram stuff is personal and small minded, at least to me. He's not saying anything. He's pretty much trolling. Yeah sure, nightcoregirl is now an Instagram celebrity but it's a simalcrum. It's parroting back and forth as infinitum. I get its commentary on today, but if I want to be entertained by Instagram, I'll just keep following mark grotjahn. Sorry.
