In an exhibition so firmly rooted to place these otherworldly stars floating in a studio vacuum represent all that is detached and placeless. They are most definitely not Berliners. Group Show at Randall ScottSome pictures in “sub-text” a Randall Scott Gallery group show are making me wonder.

“The Muslim Foundation of America or MFA which has been organizing the parade for 22 years also confirmed that Ellison won’t be the grand marshal. The group acknowledged seeking the first Muslim in Congress to lead the parade according (to) MFA director Ainul Haq. But that evidence didn’t keep the Minnesota Monitor from slamming freelance writer Joe Kaufman who broke the story about Ellison’s alleged role in the Muslim parade: “In her “Rogue’s Gallery of Radical Islam” column Canada Free Press’ Judi McLeod wrote that Ellison’s alleged role in the parade would’ve been “totally ignored were it not for the courage of a single freelance journalist. ” Yet that journalist FrontPage magazine writer Joe Kaufman seems to have ignored a basic tenet of reporting: fact-checking. ” “Reached by email Kaufman didn’t reply when asked if he verified the congressman’s involvement with either Ellison’s office or the parade organizers.
