Margaret Meehan, detail from Sugar Mountain, 2008.
I took a look at Margaret Meehan's exhibit at Road Agent Gallery in Dallas and wrote a review for the Dallas Morning News.
Now, it turns out that the full title of the exhibit ("On Sugar Mountain. Up Shit Creek.") is something that a family newspaper cannot print. (Which is a bit funny given the work, or my read of it.) In circumstances like these I think that newspapers ought to take the lead from the funnies and print long strings of symbols ($%&@!!1) to stand in for bad words. Just last night I chanced upon Bill Safire's column on the printed profanity, and he finds that dailies prefer the "[expletive]" or "****" workaround to dealing with such pottymouthed copy as the transcripts of Rod Blagojevich. Those wouldn't be my solutions for bad-boy copy, but it's not my #$%@!!1 call. In any case, click-click, and know that the DaMN snipped the exhibition title.
