What the mass media offers is not popular art but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food forgotten and replaced by a new dish.

When museums are built these days architects directors and trustees seem most concerned about social space: places to have parties eat dinner wine-and-dine donors. Sure these are important these days - museums have to bring in money - but they gobble up space and push the art itself far away from the entrance.

It's great that New York has large spaces for art. But the enormous immaculate box has become a dated even oppressive place. Many of these spaces were designed for sprawling installations large paintings and the Relational Aesthetics work of the past fifteen years.

Venice is the perfect place for a phase of art to die. No other city on earth embraces entropy quite like this magical floating mall.
