I wasn't sure about the difference between the universality of phenomenological art and the candy quality of sensational art - the equation of sensation/candy seems clear to me, but not that between pehnomenological/universal. More about that at book club? Philippa Todd, I loved this walk through the show, and your commentary is often hilarious.

I really liked his yellow room at the SFMOMA show. I want to know why you don’t like Olafur Eliasson.

"either that wallpaper goes or i do." hopefully you'll have something more substantive to dwell on (if you have the luxury of contemplation in your last moments) than an object. art should give you the opportunity to see with from a fresh perspective. the only equivalent, i my experience comes from parenting. who wants to contemplate an object on their death bed? “either that wallpaper goes or i do.” hopefully you’ll have something more substantive to dwell on (if you have the luxury of contemplation in your last moments) than an object.

This is the first blog response I have ever written, so I will keep it short. Did you know that 'curate' derives from 'curatus' - 'one responsible for the care of souls'? This fits (to my mind) with the role of the artistic curator - because you are guiding our visions, expanding our aesthetic horizons, inflecting our judgments, thereby helping us to understand the world in new ways.
