Reception



Kenny Schachter of 'Artnet News' declared the film a "searing psychological portrait.[https://news.artnet.com/opinion/kenny-schachter-on-frieze-los-angeles-2020-1784211 Kenny Schacter, Spit Earth: Who is Jordan Wolfson?, 'Artnet News', February 25, 2020] Writing for ARTnews, Christian Lorentzen noted that Wolfson comes across less as a provocateur than as a sophisticated and entertaining nostalgia act, repackaging familiar transgressions in novel trappings like animatronics and virtual-reality headsetsbut his days as an 'enfant terrible' are behind him. 'Spit Earth' serves as a capstone to that phase.[https://www.artnews.com/art-news/artists/jordan-wolfson-spit-earth-documentary-review-1202685670/ Christian Lorentzen, Is Artist Jordan Wolfson Really So Offensive?
