I am quoted...

 

 

I am quoted in Botero's Politics of Mediocrity, by Chris Thompson, East Bay Express, Feb 7, 2007:

...at a roundtable discussion of the work, Harley Shaiken, the chair of the Center for Latin American Studies, opened the talk with an excerpt from a blog by Oakland artist Chris Ashley. "It is important because the subject matter is crucial to America's current image and reputation, and Botero has made a permanent record in this unlike that made in any other medium," Ashley wrote. "It is important for the way in which it was organized — outside of the museum and gallery channels — and for where it is shown — in the library of the university known for being the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement."

The article makes a case against Botero's work.
