SISEGEXE

Reading a review in Time Out for "Making Your Mark: On Paper," an exhibit at the Brooklyn Arts Council Gallery, I couldn't tell if the writer was being slyly ironic at the end:

"Chances are, most visitors to the show will be at BAC for a grant workshop or the like. But one hopes they'll stay long enough to ponder all the trouble artist Scott Henstrand went to when he wrote the word EXEGESIS backward and upside down in charcoal on a long scroll of paper. Such devotion to craft is unmistakable and impressive whatever the setting."
