Monetise Your Privilege With Schizo-Art Bollocks : A review of Michael Portnoy at Liverpool Biennial EVENT, 8th March 2016.
By Nathan Jones. Watching the Liverpool art establishment and their European friends snigger as a Citibank call centre employee was subjected to Michael Portnoy’s pompous art rhetoric was agonizing and dispiriting. It was uncannily evocative of the worst aspects of contemporary business practice, brought uncritically into the performance space as a joke at the expense of the cognitive worker. Portnoy continually posed himself as wilfully blind to the oppressive political structures which his work took part in, despite invoking the language and names of critical thinkers who would be enlightening on such subjects — an oversight I will address here. https://medium.com/@nathmercy/portnoy-complaint-982d9d970fcf#.o7a2sp482 -- -- Marc Garrett Co-Founder, Co-Director and main editor of Furtherfield.
