I donāt find your comments pedantic at all - they are insightful and knowledgeable and I am very thankful for them. Iād love to see some of your works if you ever are up to posting.
As for the state of contemporary art, well - excesses are trimmed away by time, leaving only those that endureā¦.

Oh I agree - the installation element has always been there - cathedrals are a good example of that! I mean installations in the context of contemporary art - blurred lines between painting, sculptures, audiovisual and performances, between permanent and transientā¦.

Interesting connection! For some reason her works remind me of a modern take on altarpieces!
I see this work as an example of the evolution of art at that point in time - when a āsculptureā is no longer so and becomes an āinstallationā. I see this as an evolving step towards a new art form

As I watched the results of the last US election, the horror of having to hear that voice again for another 4 years every single time I watch the news was one of the first thoughts that came to mind

She is at the Museo Aqueologico Nacional in Madrid, next to Plaza de ColĆ³n. Well worth a morning! Seen her a couple of times - I find she has a magnetic aura similar to Nefertitiās

By forcing the Vatican and him to exert himself and meet, I actually do believe Vance has directly contributed to his final health crisis and death

He was all but forced to meet Vance yesterday, in the typical bullying and arrogant ways of this disgraceful US administration
