"This Seems Personal" article by Jon Claytor, Billie Mag - June 4, 2025

 


At this link:  This Seems Personal - Billie

"An art review is personal. The writer could be newly in love, or afraid of a call from the doctor. Their reactions will be shaped by feelings outside of the artist or curator’s control.

I visited this exhibition with my fifteen-year-old daughter. We had a lovely day. We talked and laughed, and it certainly affected how I saw the show. The works made me think of her future and our present in the way that a sunny day can lead to thoughts of the upcoming storm. How can we have such a perfect day when the world is in political turmoil? What I’m trying to say is that this review is a record of the thoughts that came to me on a specific day, in a specific mood, while I walked through the exhibit. Take them with a grain of salt, as they say. It’s personal. And as everything seems to be these days, it’s also political."


Yo born in San Francisco Jon Claytor dude...

wanna borrow a copy of my book that I ordered from Tidewater Books? No? Okay then...

In this world you can pretty much divide people into two categories:  tiggers and eeyores.. and I think my dear readers know which category I'd put myself into.. how about you?
