perspective on the afterparty

Everyone agrees that even though too much sport is barely enough*, too much art generates a zombie state.

 

On the floor outside Cézanne to Giacometti is this assemblage of glass. In my state of saturation I didn't look for a label affirming that this was an art installation, and not just an artefact of the opening afterparty last week.

 

I'm reminded of the two lads who "installed" a pair of spectacles on the floor of San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art. For the brief time that the owner's vision was impaired, the spectacles became celebrities. Is that what's happened here? What's art anyway? Did Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray deceive us with their found objects?

 

Enough! I'm in need of sugar, caffeine…fresh air and good company. Which way to the exit?

 

*I think that's what HG Nelson said.
