There might not be any other curator in town who could get away with an entire exhibit devoted to himself. But Tom Deatherage -- with his "Art Pimp" T-shirt, often unintelligible rants and lovable cackle -- has served the KC arts community long enough to score a free pass for such a decadent move. When we asked whether he intended to keep any of the pieces, he responded with a hearty "Hell, no! I don't wanna fuckin' look at myself all goddamned day!" But when last we checked, most of the pieces (works by Deatherage regulars such as Greg Eltringham, Lori Raye Erickson and Anne Austin Pearce) had sold. So apparently somebody does.
