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.

All in all, "Art Patron Art" is a
disappointing collection, and one
that I have to believe is not truly
retiective ol southeastern arts.
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.
