Greg Allen has seen James Bridle’s “”A Quiet Disposition.”an exhibition and talk at the Corcoran he’s dubbed, “The New Aesthetic and Dronestagram” for its subject matter. The show sounds pretty good—the view of a drone shadow for example, is rightly noted as privileged—and Allen does a good job of fleshing out the some of the exhibition details. His only criticism?

Kickstarter needs to improve their project review process. Yesterday, a book project many are complaining boils down to sexual assault tips got funded. The book, “Above The Game: A Guide To Getting Awesome With Women”, includes such suggestions as: “Decide that you’re going to sit in a position where you can rub her leg and back. Physically pick her up and sit her on your lap. Don’t ask for permission. Be dominant. Force her to rebuff your advances.” And: “Make her push your hand away as you get closer to her vagina.” Also: “Pull out your cock and put her hand on it. Remember, she is letting you do this because you have established yourself as a LEADER. Don’t ask for permission, GRAB HER HAND, and put it right on your dick.” There’s now a petition asking Kickstarter not to fund the project. The organization responded, but declined the request of the petitioners. [Slate]
