 Voice Over  is found  art criticism and poetry. The first two were Voice Over-Whitney Biennial and Voice Over-Dieter Roth.  Voice Over  are the overheard comments of the people in those spaces.  I write down their comments as I look at the work.  VO is published in  AC and  NY Arts magazine.

I haven’t read any reviews…

you need to check that bag…

 do you hear “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”

… no… no?...  you don’t?, I do…

 I think it starts on this floor…this guy is so f...ked…where’s the bathroom?

 your life’s a video…she gets a lot of press…cool…the artist was here yesterday…what’s downstairs? I didn’t like the first floor…it’s raining…the layered painting…un huh...money…scary…let me just stand here…it looks like… fetish…there’s an arrow… actually …what is it?...the 60s…it’ the Beatles…same thing…did you ever read?…I write creative fiction…your too close…you can see a story progress…can’t do that  yet…why not?…do you see that?…this is getting out of control…all you need is  this, then you can recreate it… the experience…thirsty?…creepy…I looked at the motorcycle and thought that would be debated...let’s just walk down…that was six years ago…you know how crazy people get… I want to touch everything…I think this is really beautiful… I got out of bed this morning…let walk around it…we did…what the hell is that?...I don’t think so…this was in   Chelsea… do you want me to stand in line for you?…no way…excuse me…too crowded…I’m sure it’s very nice inside…when you look at the work as a whole…some of it …compositionally …their kind of the same, look at the tattoos …anyway …I missed this whole section…this is the one…oh, no. not this…think it’s about 2 or 3 hours…where are the restrooms…you know what it is?...I’m starving…I skipped a lot of stuff on the third floor…did you see the mirrors?...I’m glad I came…

I’d been wondering, how do you get to 75th and Madison?

 Let’s go for a soda… a cup of coffee? a hot chocolate.
