Like
every good zombie movie, when the dead outnumber the living, you’re in trouble.
AIPAD should just call itself what it is, a convention of print dealers. The
show is a high-end baseball card show, with little interest in art and
contemporary photography. If it wasn’t for the mini Philip-Lorca diCorcia
retrospective in David Zwirner’s booth and the occasional pleasant surprises
peeking out from between the endless stream of black and white pictures of
naked woman and turn of the century landscapes, I would be ready to declare the
medium all but dead. But as the case maybe, we have a large hulking zombie
stumbling dumbly around hoping to feed on our brains until we are a hapless,
drooling mess.
