Sol le witt at Mass. MoCa

Just opened and will close in 2033. 25 years to go to Massachusette If you like Sol.
I'm not really sure if I like that. It is so death.
Would be more interesting to see something really transform slowly over such a long periode as 25 years.
A exhibition of food, plants, animals... See life.
Something by Mark Dion, Dieter Roth or what the hell; Damien Hirst!
There's something very agressive about a show that will last 25 years.
In NY there's a few DIA spaces where they have these long term installations;
Dan Flavin, Walter de Maria, Richard Serra, Robert Smithson.......
.......always male, american, white, minimal artists......
It's the sublime supremacy.
The protestant ruling idea that art should be eternal, pure and sublime.

'la pureté est une invention de la police' to quote Roland Topor again...
(purity is a invention of the police)
