Public space however is not for the public to create art but to view and experience city approved art. Private galleries may be the last place left which is not controlled by these forces. Museums however these days are all about mass appeal and selling tickets to blockbuster shows. <br /><br />From the images this installation does not interest me, another modernist installation of multiples in a grid. Safe, shallow and worst of all "fun".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-83064223791459828832016-05-08T10:28:11.917-04:002016-05-08T10:28:11.917-04:00This is just more real estate propaganda fronted b...This is just more real estate propaganda fronted by art and design, like the BMW Guggenheim Lab for First Street Green, The Ideas City Festival at The New Museum, and any kind of mural/public art.<br />Rallies and protests are intrinsically linked to freedom of speech, where as sanctioned public art and design installations are sensored and therefore inevitably marketing propognda for real estate developers and corporations.<br />As we all know, any kind of mural, even one of Dr. Martin Luther King can be manipulated for the purposes of Luxury Housing, High Fashion, consumerism, etc., and it is, more so now than ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-35256065613027579602016-05-08T08:47:49.252-04:002016-05-08T08:47:49.252-04:00"Why so negative?
