Review of Drawing Restraint 9 (2006) by Anthony C — 21 Jan 2008

I drove to New York City 3 times just to see his Cremaster Cycle and view the exhibits. This film is slightly more disturbing than some of the individual Cremaster films, though not as captivating and unfortunately lacked any of the sense of humor (at least as I experienced it) as several of the Cremaster films.

Still, he is unique in his vision and the fact that he still creeps you (me) out without an apparent ceiling on his visual and thematic talent thoroughly excites me. In some ways I wish it was more accessible just because I don't personally know anyone I can enjoy this WITH (though that may simply be a result of geography and circumstance).

I know they're out there but it still is exciting to think how we might connect over material such as this (and perhaps learn of other fringe art from each other).
