Artistic Consumption Log, Feb. 20, 2012 - Feb. 26, 2012: "Award Season Is Finally Over" Edition

BROOKLYN, N.Y.—A bout of sickness over the past weekend laid me low—or, at least, low enough that I didn't feel much energy in constructing my latest artistic consumption log even during the sick day I took from work on Monday. (I'm better, if not completely 100%, now, for those who were concerned; I'm assuming it was just a bad cold.)

Since I'm late with this log, once again it will go unannotated. Simply put: Philip Glass live ruled, the Oscars sucked, and Doug Wheeler's light-and-space installation at the David Zwirner Gallery offered a mind-expanding 10 minutes—which, in my case, was preceded by three hours of waiting in the cold. Another New York art event, another last-minute scramble to see it before it closes—an unfortunate pattern, that.
