	Art and the Public Sphere
		At the same time, several highly visible government funded art projects came under attack and prompted a debate in the general public about the role of public art, the responsibility of artists to the communities in which their art is placed, and the question of tax funding of the arts.
		The language of the contemporary American public sphere is, according to this work of art, the rhetoric of selling survival in a world in which people (regardless of their political persuasion) feel that their identities, security, and way of life is under fire.
		The reproducibility of art allows for everyday people to own copies of well-known originals as posters and postcards, and the museum store functions as the means through which we can acquire works of art for our own living and working environments.

		John Cage, who died in 1992, aged 79, had long opposed the methods and choices practiced in museums and other established institutions, if not the very existence of such spaces.
		The result in all three exhibition spaces was the first and most obvious deviation from normal museum practices to be noticed by viewers.
		Cage's quarrel was with museums, not artists, or at least the artists he counted as friends; he wouldn't have dreamed of having their pictures tilt or look crooked.

	Helter Skelter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A lightning rod and a scandal--that's what the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art's "Helter Skelter: L.A. Art in the '90s" is supposed to be, I think.
		Megan Williams offers cartoons in which everything is a blur of juggling that seems to express the speed-up and turnover of contemporary life, while Raymond Pettibone wallpapers one room with obsessive cartoonlike sketches with enigmatic captions that suggest existential angst.
		One thing one can say against the exhibition is that its predictive subtitle "L.A. Art in the '90s" has all the hubris of a big institution trying to steal the fire of ideas from the whole L.A. art scene and the many artists and smaller institutions that constitute its network.

	X-TRA :: Contemporary Art Quarterly
		Two recent exhibits at the Whitney Museum, however, one of which travels to Los Angeles and Washington D.C., make the claim that Ruscha’s practice as a whole is run through with the tropes of photography and that he, in fact, approaches his work with a kind of “photographic vision” particularly evident in his drawings.
		The Los Angeles installation of the exhibit benefits from the addition of Chocolate Room and the Stains portfolio, then, by resisting the easy comparisons between illusionism and the photograph available to viewers of the show at the Whitney when it coincided with Ed Ruscha and Photography.
		What gets lost in interpreting Ruscha as a kind of photographer-in-spite-of-himself, is the way his art, often with wit and humor, suspends an image between its status as an idea and its presence in a medium, luring the viewer into deeper reflection on just what it means to look at an picture.
