Aesthetic Grounds

Public Art, Public Space

Blah and other Words at Art Basel Miami

December 6, 2014 by Glenn Weiss

Giant words appeared at Art Basel including “EXIT”, “PEOPLE”, “TRUTH”, “BLAH”, “ARTFORHUM”, “NAKED PICTURES” and few phrase like “CULTURE = CAPITAL”  Are we really this empty of ideas and thoughts?  Among other things, thinking and emotion were not present at Art Basel Miami.  It was a craft show, not fine art as I was trained.
