From: J Category: Art Date: 03 July 2009 Time: 01:57 PM Review: http://www.mummeryschnelle.com/pages/harris.htm The bald head returns to the now schnelle partnered west end mummery: A round-up of his occasionally amusing, often striking attempts to make himself iconic, or play off the artist as icon. The repeated motif of the head in the front photo, like a giant extended passport strip draws you in, inside he has spent many years thinking about how to be famous or successful in the art world, or better described art business, and you can't really see why he hasn't reached Turk levels, but you wonder why he just doesnt do what he wants rather than think about the sordid universe of networking, wheels and deals, which makes up the ARTWORLD. In the back room are some silly portraits by Turk,Joffe,Dant, Strutton, Houseley, Akkerman. They show the futility of painting and whatever.
