“These post-avant-garde artists appear utterly unencumbered by creative anxiety… Theirs is a growing body of work that knows no rules and refuses to be corralled into any easy ‘-ism’… The result is a dizzying array of priorities and artistic instincts that resists convenient reduction in to one set of aesthetic intentions or prevailing techniques… P3‘s editors have laudably resisted the urge to impose any curatorial order on the creative chaos.”—Art Quarterly
