Matthew Ritchie: Proposition Player was like Neil Gaiman if he also did sculpture and computer generated crap games with the universe and pseudo-scientific tarot and cool diffraction grating wall murals. Hey, that article claims he has "movie star good looks"! Hmmm. He was at BU for a year at about the same time as Neil Stephenson, it seems like they would have run in the same circles.
"The Interventionists" is a highly amusing and thought-provoking exhibit featuring the ideas of socially conscious activist artists (many of whom do not have tangible art you can put in a gallery.)
Also, you speak up on behalf of Professor Steve Kurtz, for now he is facing charges that could result in a 20-year sentence for doing TOTALLY LEGAL & SAFE science-related art, and being careless enough to have his 45-y.o. wife expire from a heart attack which attracts police and FBI attention when they enter the home and see chemicals and equipment.
