Chris, Rorschach tests rely on images which may or may not evoke
associations. OK ,mostly they will if the test is set up correctly.
However,a performance by Jandek  it's not really a Rorschach test,
although I like the analogue. Do I detect a conservative streak across
your thinking here? I'm thinking too, isn't that where a large part of
the Chapel hill scene gets it's energy from..at least it was back
when. I would place Jandek in the category of performance art. And I'd
agree on the 20$ might be more interesting if it was still in my
wallet. Last point, Rorschach test rely on symmetry and how our brains
need to decode images starting with symmetry. Take a Look at Michael
Leyton. Nice to see you guys are still at it.
