"It's kind of like an ode to vandalism. There can be a creative beauty in their mayhem and destruction. You could say these characters are poets or mystics of mayhem and murder, bubbling up to the surface. They do horrible things, but I never viewed them as sad characters. They're comedic, with a vaudevillian horror element to what they do. They dance as they smash things and set them on fire. They're having a great time." - Harmony Korine

I would have preferred this work, much of which can be seen on the internet in various forums, on a single blog, with the content of the exhibiton's accompanying zine.  The distance of the pieces, the unimpressive physical presence of certain works, specifically Aleksandra Domanovic's paper stack, which look monumental in her studio documentation, worked against the curatorial statement and made it hard to digest as a whole.
