Years ago, there was a band called Culturcide that had a song called "Consider Museums as Concentration Camps". It was dedicated to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The mysterious Clark Flood has written Clerk Fluid in a similar vein. This book is an attack on various parts of the Houston art scene. Many of the articles originally appeared as part of the Glasstire blog series "Objects in the Mirror". One point that is returned to many times is that artwork that is collected in museums is often an uninspired attempt to seem edgy. A related gripe is about how many of Houston's top corporate art sponsors such as Chevron, Halliburton and Kinder Morgan behave in the real world. There are also several places where Flood satirizes "how to" guides for artists, art show call for entries and non-profit mission statements. Flood's attitude towards museums in general can be gleaned from this quote: "I used to think that my work had some internal integrity that would persist whether it was hung in the lobby of the Museum of Modern Art or used as a urinal cake at Poison Girl [a Houston bar]. Now I understand that it would lose something very important if it were ever exhibited at MoMA." Specific people and institutions are referred to with unflattering nicknames. For example, the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is referred to here as the "Center for Useless Mediocrity" amongst other things. The CAMH is mocked many times in Clerk Fluid. Flood yearns for the days when "the Center accidentally hired a radical director". I am not sure how funny or understandable these articles would be to non-Houstonians but it is certainly a different perspective from typical art writing.
