i know it is fashionable to piss on him here, but i actually feel that some of his work deliver some really interesting contrasts in the Versailles palace.
I wish I could go there now.
- sure, you could shit on the floor in there and call it interesting because of its contrasting nature.doesnotexist

i don't know... it does take some talent to create those monstrosities (though maybe he had a team of people for that). Every city needs a giant balloon dog!

i hate all the blahblah nonsense though. i really hate that. typical interpretation of art-sellers or those that gain something by this talk.
you should look at it for what it is. no bullshit please.

I wonder how he justifies his work.

all around the country on fine art courses they are taught, not to paint, draw or think, but to spout bullshit like this:
'I’m thrilled with the totality of the whole experience'
Each of his works is a dialogue with the setting, he said.
As to why he put an assemblage of vacuum cleaners among portraits of royal women in the queen’s antechamber, he replied that, among other things, vacuum cleaners are “very womb-like.”
