"Jack the Pelican is pleased to present "Just Cause It's Legal Doesn't Make
It Right." --Michael Genovese paints out the message in Spanish, Polish and
Hebrew (the ethnic languages of this area) with great exuberance across the
back wall of the gallery. It's a grand, festive sign, zesty with decorative
flourishes, like something you once saw painted on the window of a Rochester
diner or an LA street vendor's cart. --A little bit of ethnic spice, maybe a
whiff of nostalgia, earnestness instead of irony... But the resemblance ends
there. This is the mother of all signs. A masterfully executed, conceptually
and politically loaded firebomb of understatement." - Don Carroll, Jack the
Pelican
