Few hig By Mark Chevalier Gam?cock Staff Writer The Columbia Museum of Art's new show, "Art Patron Art," is a collection of works selected by the Advisory Council of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA). The show presents the work of 28 different artists from 11 southeastern states, and occupies all four of the museum's main galleries. Despite the massive size of the show, in both volume and scale, it is disparingly difficult to detect either direction or general cohesion between any of the artists showing. It is as if not only distance separates them, but also time.

Hopefully SECCA will learn from this show that big isn't always best, and that perhaps the patron may not be the best judge of quality.
