Here's a question for you brilliant readers: I had read that P.S.1 was going to have a Kenneth Anger retrospective starting in October, and have been counting the days until the opening. Now, I notice that any information about the show has been pulled from the site, and I'm wondering what happened. I emailed the museum, but have yet to hear back. Does anyone know anything?
I hope it's just postponed, and not canceled entirely. I will admit that the replacement show does sound pretty cool though: "P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center presents NeoHooDoo: Art for a Forgotten Faith, an exhibition co-organized by The Menil Collection that brings together a multigenerational group of North, South, and Central American artists who address the value of ritual in the artistic process and the wider implications of spirituality in contemporary art."
He is apparently dying.
He has also projected that his death will happen on Halloween of this year, so that can either be symbolic in reference to the art show, or ehhh... something else.

The show has been tentatively postponed until Winter 2009. NeoHooDoo will definitely be a good show. Other exhibitions scheduled to open on Oct 19 are: gino de dominicis

Thanks for the info - I hope he's OK... Then again, if he wants to go on Halloween, that's his prerogative isn't it.
