BORNA SAMMAK (JTT, NEW YORK)

“All Dogs Are Pets” was the title of Sammak’s second outing at JTT, and if I believed in a future or in politics I’d say this was his neo-Futurist politico-aesthetic manifesto. Sorry, but not all dogs are pets. Poetry intervenes: The wild and vicious are good citizens in the ever-replenished virgin spring of garbage culture transfigured. I really loved the “sign” in yellow and black directing us to a GROUP PARTY SPECIALIST. A friend commented: “Group party? Sounds like a nightmare.” Well, yeah, duh.
