Phoebe Greenberg @ hirshhorn — Washington DC
“Next Floor” til April 4
Phoebe Greenberg and/or the hirshhorn, got my junk up in a knot in a couple of different ways with this “exhibit”.
I’m not disgruntled because Next Floor won best Short Film at Cannes in 2008 (amoung numerous other awards). It is a well done, profound and compelling short film. But my first beef is that it is a film and film has its own numerous venues for display.
And it’s not the film’s content either. Portraying a bunch of privileged people gorging on all imaginable animals while the floor continuously falls out beneath them is an apt critique of our western ways, if not a very obvious one.

Should VoCA Be More Critical?
(This is a comment on a conversation started on the blog View on Canadian Art.)
In answer to VoCA’s question: it largely depends on your reasons for publishing your blog. I think your mission statement “your cultural concierge” tells us much about your intentions.
