"If you curate shows and you also make art, you are absolutely disallowed, under any circumstances, to include yourself in your shows. Those who do should be flogged, pants down, in the town square."
Bob Nickas, Live Free or Die: Collected Writings 1985-1999, Les Presses du réel, 2000.
I’m sorry Bob, but I had to break this rule.
The sole criterion for this exhibition is that all participating artists must have names like 'Lou' or 'Lu,' both pronounced 'Luu.'
