Even if a few bad works get curated into a big show, we should withhold judgement until we have paid to see it and then tastefully remark that our expectations were not quite met, but that on the whole we were ravished by the experience of value, taste and wisdom that one person's refined educated visionary opinion can produce. <br /><br />It is amazing that we are allowed to see these collections, and even more amazing that anyone would question the beautiful narrative that surrounds them. I think many bloggers would rather live in filth than to be allowed to see the vision of the more knowledgeable, creative, refined and ambitious, who have devoted all their spare time and money into producing valuable contributions the the train of art history. <br /><br />Do not dynamite the tracks out of sour grapes - do not wash it's fabrics in the mud of true abjection. Celebrate he magesty of it's conception, the light of it's largesse!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbvzbj4Nhtk" rel="nofollow">WWRSD</a>zipthwunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761727194113640578noreply@blogger.com
