Yeah, but is it sculpture?

Please take a minute to read Randy Kennedy's pieces in the July 3 New York Times called "The Artist in the Hazmat Suit" (the audio slide show gives you lots of pictures and descriptions of the work) . In it, he discusses the work of the Critical Art Ensemble and others, noting how it blurs the line between art and science (a comment someone made about Dove Bradshaw) and how it maybe aesthetically and politically provocative but it may as well be dangerous.

That's what I get for reading the electronic edition...can't turn the page. It's interesting that about this time each year the Times does a story on the new crop of MFA's. Should we move Finkel's article to the front burner and see if there's anything anyone else wants to say?
