Controversial Activism As an unpaid arts blogger for The San Diego Union Tribune, Sweetman wrote a resignation piece in the Union Tribune blog suggesting a boycott of the paper by visual artists in response to the layoff of art critic Robert Pincus. The action was widely reported by writers from news outlets, including Voice of San Diego, The LA Times, Fishbowl LA, Modern Art Notes, San Diego City Beat, Bay Area Observer, and the San Diego Reader.
