And what makes you think that Pettibon might have an underlying maturity, waiting to break out? I would also like to hear your take on the installation itself, with Pettibon's handwriting, in paint, on the walls. I would also like to see you expand on this idea of malleability in Pettibon’s work. You explain some of the variety of content, but if I hadn’t seen the show, I would want to know more.Jessica Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370524473484504319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466314672723988836.post-2378906156824866992013-10-10T15:45:32.788-07:002013-10-10T15:45:32.788-07:00"There are no boundaries for Pettibon" i..."There are no boundaries for Pettibon" is an interesting comment since perhaps his own aesthetics are his boundaries. I would enjoy seeing him push himself to perhaps make a version of his own "ugly" work and see what he would do. However in a way why change what isn't broke? His loose gestures and colorful imagery took me to places of nostalgia and dream at the same time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656689902095991949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466314672723988836.post-77943357463033543852013-10-09T17:19:12.370-07:002013-10-09T17:19:12.370-07:00‘Raymond Pettibon’s show did not disappoint Pettib...‘Raymond Pettibon’s show did not disappoint Pettibon fans’ and may have inspired new fans, if this new audience was seeing this work for the first time. I agree with Matt that Pettibon is on autopilot. I imagine that he is not challenged to change because his involvement with punk rock, surf culture, baseball and literature in his 50’s most likely fulfills a fantasy of who would be able to collect his work. However, even through this criticism, he curated this large space to be intimate with provocative positioning his imagery and words, which feel like very specific moments in his thought process.<br /><br />Louise Eastmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13216594479788387358noreply@blogger.com
