This article is a biography that, while sourced, does not meet the criteria for inclusion of a biographical aritcle. All I can find are listings for gallery showings; there simply is not sufficient 3rd party coverage to support a biographical article. Isotope23 talk 18:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * keep A couple of thousand ghits indicate he has displayed his art a fair amount. He isn't just doing this at home and making lawn art, so seems to pass notability.  Never heard of him before, but found a great deal of info pretty quick online.  The article is sourced, it can be verified, his work has been displayed and talked about.

 * Weak keep He has shown at PS1 and Saatchi Gallery and has been reviewed in Art in America. Not a lot, but enough to satisfy notability.  freshacconci  speak to me  21:59, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Saatchi & Marlborough refs demonstrate notability. Johnbod (talk) 22:26, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Emerging, rather than fully established artist, but solo show reviewed in the New York Times, group shows at PS 1 and Saatchi Gallery should be enough to satisy notability requirements.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 22:50, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * KeepThis article seems in line with other contemporary artist posts, i.e. Elizabeth Neel and Will Cotton. Saatchi and P.S.1 legitimize the article along with NYTimes writings on shows.24.239.175.125 (talk) 12:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
