Christophere Davison at nicelle beauchene


A small gallery on Lower East Side has this very nice and delicate show of small drawings by Christophere Davison from Philadelphia;
The small drawings are a bit children's book creepy. Or you could say; School of Henry Darger. The most influential outsider artist from the last 25 years (well..since he got discovered)


Liked them a lot.
thinking about children's-book creepy; I was watching some TV tonight and to my surprise there is now a 24h kids channel.
Sponge bob at 3 in the morning... Great if you have kids and come home early in the morning, I guess. (or is it just for for the stoned Americans?)
I'm disturbed by the idea that little children are still in front of the TV at that time... I'm sure in Europe this will not be tolerated.
They don't show porn during the day. I understand;OK. But isn't this the flip side of it?
Children program and porn is booth fantasy; one would be the negative the other would be the positive.
(actually there is no "adult-entertainment" eighty on this cable)
