 | The nostalgia of young artists for some sort of authentic youth-driven counterculture appears in the show's many evocations of '60s psychedelia. Jeremy Blake's video, Reading Ossie Clark, is a well-crafted tribute to the fabulous British fashion designer and confirms—if there was ever any doubt—that London in the swinging '60s was a lot more fun than New York could ever hope to be. The video's soundtrack features excerpts from Clark's diaries, including such classic lines as: "After a snort of coke, I become a new man. And that new man wants two snorts of coke." |  |
