The same person does the one-on-one personal interviews, thus getting to know the artist, and then writes the review a week later. <br /><br />Maybe I'm missing Aaron's point, though.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04720958150460163292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740282838839188438.post-54033580546177979562009-08-16T17:39:42.842-04:002009-08-16T17:39:42.842-04:00@Landau: Uh, what?

I don't understand what you're even saying, much less how it's an NYC phenomenon.<br /><br />I don't have to deal with this much, but in the case of friends' and colleagues' books, I'm happy to link to it without vouching for its quality, while making it clear to readers that we're friends or acquaintances. But I won't review those books. In certain cases it's not good for the friendship and in almost all cases it's not good for my credibility.Sarah D Buntinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218852480789623737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740282838839188438.post-72748669182310704212009-08-12T09:19:05.349-04:002009-08-12T09:19:05.349-04:00Mr. Riccio, you may want to talk to just about any...Mr. Riccio, you may want to talk to just about any critic who writes outside of NYC. From Newark to California, the same person will routinely do the interview and feature ("puff piece") article on a show and then a week later review it positively or negatively, and then months/years later go back and do another puff piece on the same artists whose work they've hated (or yawned at or loved) in print in the past. The separation seems to be a New York City phenomenon, at least in my experience.<br /><br />All best,<br />Fred LandauUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04720958150460163292noreply@blogger.com
